[Genetic background of heart failure: SNP association study for heart failure and the underlying diseases].

Abstract excerpt

Genome wide association studies (GWAS) using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) have identified numerous genetic risk factors for common diseases. In heart diseases, genetic risk loci for coronary artery diseases (CAD) and atrial fibrillation are particularly identified by means of GWAS in several ethnic populations. However, genetic risk loci associated directly with heart failure (HF) have been poorly...
