Abstract excerpt
Mutations in SCN5A, encoding the cardiac sodium channel, are linked with familial atrial fibrillation (AF) but the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms and implications for therapy remain unclear. To characterize the pathogenesis of AF-linked SCN5A mutations, we generated patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell-derived atrial cardiomyocytes (iPSC-aCMs) from two kindreds carrying SCN5A mutations (E428K...
