Abstract excerpt
A recent study identified a rare variant in the mannose receptor C type 2 (MRC2) gene in individuals with familial reentrant supraventricular tachycardia, a Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) electrocardiogram pattern, and structurally normal hearts. WPW syndrome is associated with atrial fibrillation (AF), and MRC2 was recently proposed as a protective gene for AF. We determined whether the E990G-heterozygous (het)...
