Genetics and Pharmacogenetics of Atrial Fibrillation

Abstract excerpt

The heritability of atrial fibrillation (AF) is well established. Over the last decade genetic architecture of AF has been unraveled by genome-wide association studies and family-based studies. However, the translation of these genetic discoveries has lagged owing to an incomplete understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms underlying the genetic variants, challenges in classifying variants of uncertain...
