Symptoms
People who have SCN1B-related disorder may have:
- Brugada syndrome, which is a condition that causes abnormal heartbeats
- Generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures
Do people who have SCN1B-related disorder look different?

GeneReviews
GeneReviews are a great resource to bring to your child’s clinicians. These publications provide a summary of current research on genetic conditions and information on ongoing care.
There is currently no GeneReviews for SCN1B.
Research Article Summaries
We currently do not have any article summaries for SCN1B, but we add resources to our website as they become available.
The information available about SCN1B is limited, and families and doctors share a critical need for more information. As we learn more from children who have this gene change, we expect our list of resources and information to grow.
Full versions of published research articles can be found on PubMed. PubMed is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) online database that is free. It has a collection of both medical and scientific research articles. A PubMed search for SCN1B articles can be found here.
