NOS1AP SNPs RELATED TO SUDDEN ARRHYTHMIC DEATH SYNDROME

Between 12-20% of all Sudden Cardiac Death (SDC) occurs in individuals without previous symptoms of cardiac disease, which is known as Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS). Recent studies identified the NOS1AP gene as new genetic marker to increase the risk of SDC. Here, we analyzed five SNPs of the NOS1AP gene by PCR-HRM in order to evaluate its ability as diagnostic and predictive biomarkers of the SADS.
