A 16-year-old Japanese boy was admitted to the hospital due to cardiac issues, diagnosed with a cardiac conduction defect and found to have a genetic mutation related to cardiomyopathy and arrhythmia in family genetic analysis. After further examinations and surgery, he successfully received permanent pacemaker implantation.
A 16-year-old Japanese man was admitted to our hospital because of syncope during exercise. His father and his younger brother had permanent pacemaker implantation because of sick sinus syndrome. Several examinations revealed first-degree atrioventricular block, complete right bundle branch block, sick sinus syndrome, and ventricular tachycardia with normal cardiac function. As no abnormalities were evident on coronary angiography, right ventricular endomyocardial biopsy was performed. It showed myocardial disarrangement and lipofuscin accumulation in hypertrophic myocytes. Moreover, electron microscopy showed a few degenerative myocytes, Z-band streaming, disarrangement, increased small capillaries with Weibel-Palade bodies in endothelial cells, and endothelial proliferations. Genetic analysis of the proband, his father, and his younger brother revealed a missense mutation, D1275N, in SCN5A, a gene which encodes sodium ion channel protein, are related to cardiomyopathy and arrhythmia. The proband was diagnosed with a cardiac conduction defect (CCD) and underwent permanent pacemaker implantation. These pathological findings suggest various myocardial changes presented in CCD patients with a missense mutation, D1275N, in SCN5A.
