Association of rs2200733 at 4q25 with early onset of lone atrial fibrillation in young patients.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Genome wide association studies have shown an association between rs2200733 at 4q25 and atrial fibrillation (AF). In this case-control study we investigate the association of rs2200733 and lone AF in young patients. METHODS: We included 196 young patients with lone AF and the first episode before the age of 40 years. We analyzed the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs2200733 for the lone AF...
