Association of Common Variations on Chromosome 4q25 and Left Atrial Volume in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
Aims Recent studies have shown that several genetic variants near the PITX2 locus on chromosome 4q25 are associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the mechanism that mediates this association remains unclear. Basic murine studies suggest that reduced PITX2 expression is associated with left...
