A SHOX2 loss-of-function mutation underlying familial atrial fibrillation

Abstract excerpt

Atrial fibrillation (AF), as the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, is associated with substantially increased morbidity and mortality. Aggregating evidence demonstrates that genetic defects play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of AF, especially in familial AF. Nevertheless, AF is of pronounced genetic heterogeneity, and in an overwhelming majority of cases the genetic determinants underlying AF remain...
