Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac rhythm disorder with a lifetime risk for development of 25% for people aged 40 or older. In this study we aim for the functional assessment of a mutation in KCNE3 identified in a proband with early-onset lone AF. METHODS: Screening of genomic DNA from the proband led to identification of a KCNE3 V17M missense mutation. We heterologously expressed the...
