Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Mutations in the PRKAG2 gene that encodes the gamma2 regulatory subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase have been shown to cause autosomal dominant Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Prior studies focused on familial WPW syndrome associated with other heart disease such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. However, such disease accounts for only a small...
