These are related genes that both encode cardiac sodium channels. The regional association plot for this locus is shown above, with gene models in this region shown below the plot. Based on the information shown here, why did the authors nominate SCN5A and SCN10A as candidate genes, but not SCN11A, another cardiac sodium channel gene adjacent to SCN10A? Limit your answer to 1-2 sentences.
