Abstract excerpt
Objective: To study the associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of the myosin heavy chain 6 (MYH6) gene with the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) and warfarin anticoagulation therapy. Methods: Sanger sequencing was employed to analyze the genotypes of the MYH6 gene's rs28730771, rs365990, and rs2277473 loci in 243 AF patients and 243 non-AF patients (control group) selected according to the age and...
