Polycystin-1 loss of function increases susceptibility to atrial fibrillation through impaired DNA damage response
2024-07-12
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> The increasing prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and chronic kidney diseases highlights the need for a deeper comprehension of the molecular mechanisms linking them. Mutations in PKD1, the gene encoding Polycystin-1 (PKD1 or PC1), account for 85% of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) cases. This disease often includes cardiac complications such as AF. In cardiomyocytes,...
