Trial summary

Background: Sinus node dysfunction is a major cause of bradycardia necessitating pacemaker implantation. Evidences of genetic study supported that some genes involved in the pacemaker current or renin-angiotensin system were related to sinus node dysfunction. Read more about this study

About this study

Background: Sinus node dysfunction is a major cause of bradycardia necessitating pacemaker implantation. Evidences of genetic study supported that some genes involved in the pacemaker current or renin-angiotensin system were related to sinus node dysfunction. However, the influence of gene polymorphisms on sinus node dysfunction was not well studied.

Methods: A group of 100 patients with documented sinus node dysfunction and 100 age- and sex- matched healthy control patients will be enrolled into this study. Gene polymorphism study includes the angiotensin-I converting enzyme gene, angiotensin II type 1 receptor gene, HCN1-4, SCN5A, KCNE and other possible gene polymorphisms which are related to sinus node function based on previous reports. Genetic polymorphisms are identified with polymerase chain reaction-based restriction analysis. Comparison of multiple haplotype analysis and single-locus analysis will be analyzed between the cases and controls.

Estimated Results: Some genetic polymorphisms of these genes which are related to sinus node function or rennin-angiotensin system will show association with sinus node dysfunction. In multilocus haplotype analysis, some genetic haplotype profiles may demonstrate significant difference between cases and controls. In single locus analysis, some genetic polymorphisms may be associated with sinus node dysfunction.

Estimated Conclusion and Clinical Implication: This study will demonstrate the genetic polymorphisms in RAS genes or some other genes associated with sinus node dysfunction. These results will support the roles of these genetic polymorphisms in determining the risk of sinus node dysfunction among the Chinese population in Taiwan.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sinus Arrhythmia, run by China Medical University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Apr 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jan-Yow Chen, MD (886-4-22052121, janyow@ms77.hinet.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Apr 2006.
