Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of EPHX2 alter sEH activity and are associated with increased [rs41507953 (K55R)] or reduced [rs751141 (R287Q)] cardiovascular risk via modulation of fibrosis, inflammation or cardiac ion channels. This indicates an effect on development and therapy response of AF. This study tested the hypothesis that variations in the EPHX2 gene encoding human soluble epoxide...
