Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Previous studies have shown that two linked polymorphisms within regulatory regions of the gene for connexin40 (Cx40), at nucleotides -44 (G --> A) and +71 (A --> G) occur in about 7% of the general population. Cx40 is abundant in the atrium, and homozygosity for the linked polymorphisms combined with an SCN5A mutation appeared to be responsible for familial atrial standstill. We hypothesized that...
