Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation GWAS (genome-wide association studies) identified significant associations for rs1152591 and linked variants in the SYNE2 gene encoding Nesprin-2, which connects the nuclear membrane with the cytoskeleton. METHODS: Reporter gene vector transfection and CRISPR-Cas9 editing were used to identify the causal variant regulating the expression of SYNE2α1. After SYNE2 knockdown or SYNE2α1...
