Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a complex heritable disease whose genetic underpinnings remain largely unexplained, though recent work has suggested that the arrhythmia may develop secondary to an underlying atrial cardiomyopathy. We sought to evaluate for enrichment of loss-of-function (LOF) and copy number variants (CNVs) in genes implicated in ventricular cardiomyopathy in 'lone' AF. METHODS AND RESULTS:...
