<i>PITX2</i> Insufficiency Leads to Atrial Electrical and Structural Remodeling Linked to Arrhythmogenesis
22 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pitx2 is a homeobox transcription factor that plays a pivotal role in early left/right determination during embryonic development. Pitx2 loss-of-function mouse mutants display early embryonic lethality with severe cardiac malformations, demonstrating the importance of Pitx2 during cardiogenesis. Recently, independent genome-wide association studies have provided new evidence for a putative role of...
