Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To determine the association between genetic variants on chromosome 4q25 and atrial fibrillation (AF) in a Taiwanese population. METHODS: We enrolled 200 patients with AF (mean age: 67 +/- 13 years) and 158 controls (mean age: 63 +/- 10 years). The genotypes of five SNPs, RS2634073, RS2200733, RS13143308, RS2220427 and RS10033464, were determined using multiplex single base extension methods. RESULTS:...
