Loss-of-function mutations in the SCN5A-encoded sodium channel SCN5A or Nav1.5 have been identified in idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) in the absence of Brugada syndrome phenotype. Nav1.5 is regulated by four sodium channel auxiliary beta subunits. Here, we report a case with IVF and a novel mutation in the SCN3B-encoded sodium channel beta subunit Nav beta 3 that causes a loss of function of Nav1.5 channels in vitro.Comprehensive open reading frame mutational analysis of KCNQ1, KCNH2, SCN5A, KCNE1, KCNE2, GPD1L, four sodium channel beta subunit genes (SCN1-4B), and targeted scan of RYR2 was performed. A novel missense mutation, Nav beta 3-V54G, was identified in a 20-year-old male following witnessed collapse and defibrillation from VF. The ECG exhibited epsilon waves, and imaging studies demonstrated a structurally normal heart. The mutated residue was highly conserved across species, localized to the Nav beta 3 extracellular domain, and absent in 800 reference alleles. We found that HEK-293 cells had endogenous Nav beta 3, but COS cells did not. Co-expression of Nav1.5 with Nav beta 3-V54G (with or without co-expression of the Nav beta 1 subunit) in both HEK-293 cells and COS cells revealed a significant decrease in peak sodium current and a positive shift of inactivation compared with WT. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments showed association of Nav beta 3 with Nav1.5, and immunocytochemistry demonstrated a dramatic decrease in trafficking to the plasma membrane when co-expressed with mutant Nav beta 3-V54G.This study provides molecular and cellular evidence implicating mutations in Nav beta 3 as a cause of IVF.
