Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To test the hypothesis that vulnerability to atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with rare coding sequence variation in the SCN10A gene, which encodes the voltage-gated sodium channel isoform NaV1.8 found primarily in peripheral nerves and to identify potentially disease-related mechanisms in high-priority rare variants using in-vitro electrophysiology. METHODS AND RESULTS: We re-sequenced SCN10A in 274...
