Molecular autopsy identifies the NaV1.5 p.Leu96Pro variant causing sodium current loss-of-function in unexplained sudden cardiac death
Authors: Albert Rigat Pujolasa, Rebecca Martínez-Moreno, David Carreras, Yajaira Alvarado-Cervantes, Elisabet Selga, Ramon Brugada, Guillermo J. Pérez, Fabiana S. Scornik Forensic Science International: Genetics, 86 (2027) 103587 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsigen.2026.103587 Read More Abstract Molecular autopsy can identify candidate variants in unexplained sudden cardiac death (SUD), but functional evidence is often required to support pathogenic interpretation and family risk assessment. Here, we investigated the functional consequences of the SCN5A c.287 T >C (NaV1.5_p.Leu96Pro) variant, identified in a 29-year-old man who died of SUD. Cascade screening identified additional relatives carrying the variant, with variable clinical expression. Sodium current (INa) was [...]
TR2Lab Joins Global Experts at the ERS International Congress 2026
Dr. Renata Da Palma, member of TR2Lab, participated in the ERS International Congress 2026 held in Barcelona, one of the world's largest and most influential meetings in respiratory medicine and science. During the event, she presented TR2Lab’s research on the anti-inflammatory effects of photobiomodulation therapy in an experimental model of asthma-COPD overlap. The congress brought together researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals from across the globe to share the latest advances in respiratory health, fostering scientific exchange and international collaboration. Scientific meetings such as ERS play an essential role in advancing research by facilitating knowledge sharing, promoting innovation, and creating new [...]
Generation of human induced pluripotent stem cell lines from relatives of an unexplained sudden cardiac death victim carrying a Brugada Syndrome-associated, SCN5A c.287 T>C, variant
Authors: Elisabet Selga, Rebecca Martínez-Moreno, Albert Rigat Pujolàs, Begoña Aran, Bernd Kuebler, Guillermo J. Pérez, Fabiana S. Scornik *, Ramon Brugada Stem Cell Research. 2026 DOI:10.1016/j.scr.2026.104071 Read More Abstract Patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) are a valuable approach to model cardiovascular diseases. We nucleofected non-integrating episomal vectors in skin fibroblasts of four family members. Two of them carried the single nucleotide variant (SNV) SCN5A_c.287 T >C, leading to NaV1.5_p.L96P, and two were non-carrier family members. The resulting hiPSC cell lines differentiate into cells of the 3 germ layers, display normal karyotypes and express markers of the undifferentiated [...]
