Follow-up study for people with SCN4A or CLCN1 gene variants
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks people who had genetic testing for a heart rhythm problem at UZ Brussel since 2021. If they have a specific gene change (in SCN4A or CLCN1), researchers will do a detailed heart and nerve checkup to learn more about the condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had genetic testing for a primary cardiac arrhythmia (a heart rhythm disorder) since 2021.
- The genetic test must have been done at UZ Brussel (University Hospital Brussels).
- You had a heart screening at UZ Brussel.
- Your genetic test found a change (variant) in the SCN4A gene or the CLCN1 gene.
- The variant must be classified as class 3 (uncertain), class 4 (likely disease-causing), or class 5 (disease-causing).

This study looks at the risk of a fast heart rhythm (ventricular tachycardia) in people with genetic heart muscle diseases. It tests whether having a specific genetic change affects the success of a heart ablation procedure.
This study uses your blood or genetic information to make “iPS cells,” lab-grown cells that can help researchers study inherited heart rhythm problems like LQTS, Brugada syndrome, CPVT, or early repolarization syndrome. It may help improve understanding of why these rhythms happen and guide future treatments.
This study looks at how proteins that connect heart cells are distributed in people with inherited heart rhythm disorders (and some family members who may carry the gene). It aims to better understand the biology behind these conditions, which may help improve risk assessment and future care.
This study looks at genetic causes of inherited heart (cardiovascular) and muscle/nerve (neuromuscular) conditions. You may be asked about your family history and possibly genetic samples to help connect symptoms to specific genetic changes.
This study checks whether genetic markers are linked to heart rhythm problems in people with epilepsy or seizure-related events, and in some close relatives. It may help doctors better spot who is at risk for dangerous heart rhythm issues.
This study keeps a registry (a secure list) of people who have been diagnosed with Brugada syndrome. It helps doctors learn about the condition over time and may support future research aimed at better care.
