Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The etiology of conduction disturbances necessitating permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation is often unknown, although familial aggregation of PPM (faPPM) suggests a possible genetic basis. We developed a pan-cardiovascular next generation sequencing (NGS) panel to genetically characterize a selected cohort of faPPM. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We designed and validated a custom NGS panel targeting the...
