We CAN NOT proceed with genetic analysis without the consent form signed.

• If the participant speaks English you must use the long consent form.

• Short consent forms are acceptable if the participant does not speak English. If the participant's language is not available as one of the consent forms, you may translate it (e-mail us (ramon@brugada.org) if you need the English short consent form to be used as a template for translation.) The new translation must be approved by our IRB committee before proceeding with blood extraction.
• You will notice that when you download a short consent form, you will also download the English long consent form (to be used as a summary of the research protocol). The investigator has to explain to the participant the information indicated in the short consent form in a language understandable to him in front of a witness.
• The participant and the witness must sign the short consent form.
• The person obtaining consent and the witness must sign the long consent form.
• Please give a copy of both documents to the participant and enclose both signed consent forms with the blood package.
