Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The gene zinc finger homeobox 3 (ZFHX3) encodes a transcription factor with cardiac expression and its genetic variants are associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed to explore the associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of ZFHX3 and the risk of AF in a Chinese Han population. METHODS: We genotyped eight SNPs, including seven potentially functional SNPs and one previously...
