Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Three distinct genetic loci on chromosomes 1q21, 4q25, and 16q22 have been associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Five additional loci have been associated primarily with the PR interval and subsequently with AF. We aimed to investigate if 8 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), representing the 8 genomic loci previously linked with AF in genome-wide...
