H1FX
h1fx
Description
h1fx is a rare genetic disorder that affects the function of the heart. It is caused by a mutation in the CACNA1C gene, which encodes for a protein that is responsible for regulating the flow of calcium ions into heart cells. This mutation leads to an abnormal electrical activity in the heart, which can cause various symptoms and complications.
Associated Diseases
h1fx is associated with a number of other diseases, including:
- Brugada syndrome: A heart rhythm disorder that can cause sudden cardiac arrest.
- Long QT syndrome: A heart rhythm disorder that can also cause sudden cardiac arrest.
- Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT): A heart rhythm disorder that can lead to fainting and sudden cardiac death.
- Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD): A disease that causes the right ventricle of the heart to become enlarged and weakened.
Did you Know ?
h1fx is a very rare disorder, affecting only about 1 in 100,000 people. However, it is the most common genetic cause of sudden cardiac arrest in young people.
