Between 1 and 30 per 10,000 people are affected by Brugada syndrome.[1][2] Although those affected are born with the condition, symptoms are only rarely seen in childhood and the first symptoms are usually seen in adulthood. While the rare cases seen in childhood are equally likely to be male or female, in adulthood the condition is more frequently seen in males than females, potentially due to the higher testosterone levels found in men.[2][33]
