| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Pokkuri Death Syndrome (PDS) is a sudden unexpected nocturnal death of unknown cause in mostly young males that has been reported in Japan and other South-Asian countries. Together with the counterpart of this study in Thailand, we have shown that Lai-Tai, a sudden death syndrome in Thailand, has similar autopsy findings with PDS in Japan. As for the background it was more like that of PDS in postwar period. Most Lai-Tai cases were found in heavy physical labor workers with poor economic and sanitary conditions. Genetic analysis of SC5NA, responsible for Brugada syndrome and other sudden arrhythmic death causing disease was performed. We have found some mutations in our PDS cases and now are preparing for the functional analysis. As for the Lai-Tai cases, they are under genetic analysis.
