The history and geographic distribution of a KCNQ1 atrial fibrillation risk allele

The history and geographic distribution of a KCNQ1 atrial fibrillation risk allele

Many rare high-impact variants have been associated with disease, but the origins and functional impact are not always explored. Here, the authors trace the ancestry of a rare high impact atrial fibrillation allele in KCNQ1, and use iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes to characterize the effect of the allel...
