Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Associations between inherited mitochondrial disease and cardiac conduction have been previously described. However, there are no available studies exploring the mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2 gene (UCP2) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphisms interaction on cardiac electrical conduction. Our aim was to determine if ECG-derived QRS duration is associated with UCP2 DD genotype in a cross-sectional...
