Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. Currently, 14 genes important for ion channel function, intercellular signaling, and homeostatic control have been associated with AF. OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that rare genetic variants in genes previously associated with AF had a higher prevalence in early-onset lone AF patients than in the background population. METHODS: Sequencing...
