AIMS: Risk stratification for sudden cardiac death in patients with Brugada syndrome remains a major challenge. Contemporary risk prediction models have only modest predictive value. The aim of this study was to assess the role of micro-RNAs from peripheral blood as candidate biomarkers in Brugada syndrome. METHODS AND RESULTS: In this prospective study, Brugada patients and unaffected control individuals were enrolled for analysis of leucocyte-derived microRNAs (miRNAs) levels. Expression levels of 798 different circulating miRNAs were analysed on the NanoString® nCounter platform. All results were cross-validated by using a quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Micro-RNA expression levels of Brugada patients were compared with clinical data. A total of 21 definite Brugada patients (38% with a history of ventricular arrhythmia or cardiac arrest) and 30 unaffected control individuals were included in the study. Micro-RNA analysis showed a distinct expression profile in Brugada patients with 42 differentially expressed markers (38 up-regulated, 4 down-regulated miRNAs). The symptom status of Brugada patients was associated with a distinct miRNA signature. Micro-RNAs 145-5p and 585-3p were significantly up-regulated in symptomatic Brugada patients (P = 0.04). Incorporating miRNAs 145-5p and 585-3p into a multivariable model demonstrated significantly increased symptom prediction (area under the curve = 0.96; 95% confidence interval: 0.88-1.00). CONCLUSION: Brugada patients display a distinct miRNA expression profile compared with unaffected control individuals. There is also evidence that certain miRNAs (miR-145-5p and miR-585-3p) are associated with the symptom status of Brugada patients. The results suggest the principal utility of leucocyte-derived miRNAs as prognostic biomarkers for Brugada syndrome.
