Common genetic variants in sudden cardiac death.

Abstract excerpt

Evidence from family history, twin studies and molecular studies of rare inherited arrhythmia predisposition syndromes indicate that genetic factors are important contributors to determining risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD). More recent evidence indicates that common genetic variants in several genes can explain part of this risk at the population level. Here, the genetic risks for SCD are reviewed along with...
