Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence has strongly implicated hereditary determinants for atrial fibrillation (AF). Loss-of-function mutations in KCNA5 encoding the ultrarapid delayed rectifier potassium current I(Kur) have been identified in AF families. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the clinical and biophysical phenotypes in a KCNA5 mutation with deletion of 11 amino acids in the N-terminus of...
