New advances in the genetic basis of atrial fibrillation.

Abstract excerpt

Over the past decade, compelling evidence has emerged from population-based studies to suggest that AF is a heritable disease. More recently, we have begun to elucidate the genetic substrate underlying AF. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have led to the identification of multiple risk loci that confer increased susceptibility to the arrhythmia. These loci harbor intriguing candidate genes including those...
