Atrial fibrillation: the role of common and rare genetic variants.

Abstract excerpt

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia affecting 1-2% of the general population. A number of studies have demonstrated that AF, and in particular lone AF, has a substantial genetic component. Monogenic mutations in lone and familial AF, although rare, have been recognized for many years. Presently, mutations in 25 genes have been associated with AF. However, the complexity of monogenic AF...
