Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Potassium levels regulate multiple physiologic processes. The heritability of serum potassium level is moderate, with published estimates varying from 17% to 60%, suggesting genetic influences. However, the genetic determinants of potassium levels are not generally known. METHODS: A whole-exome sequencing association study of serum potassium levels in 5812 subjects of the Old Order Amish was...
