Recently published results from the FINGER registry of 1029 patients (of which 657 had not been previously reported) had similar findings: symptoms and a spontaneous type 1 Brugada ECG were predictors of arrhythmic events, while familial history of SCD, presence of an SCN5A mutation, inducibility of ventricular arrhythmia and in this series gender, was not predictive of arrhythmic events [9]. Here, SCN5A is linked to Schnyder corneal dystrophy.
