Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic polymorphisms associated with common aetiologically complex diseases have recently been identified through genome-wide association studies. Direct-to-consumer genetic testing for such polymorphisms, with provision of absolute genetic risk estimates, is marketed by several commercial companies. Polymorphisms associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) have shown relatively large risk estimates,...
