Abstract excerpt
Several studies have shown an overlap between genes involved in the pathophysiological mechanisms of atrial fibrillation (AF) and Brugada Syndrome (BrS). We investigated whether three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs11708996; G>C located intronic to SCN5A, rs10428132; T>G located in SCN10A, and rs9388451; T>C located downstream to HEY2) at loci associated with BrS in a recent genome-wide association...
