Recent advances in the genetics of atrial fibrillation: from rare and common genetic variants to microRNA signaling

Recent advances in the genetics of atrial fibrillation: from rare and common genetic variants to microRNA signaling

Besides traditional risk factors, atrial fibrillation (AF) also shares a strong genetic component. Here, we review the genetics of AF including monogenic forms of AF, heritability of AF, complex genetic risk of AF, and the role of microRNAs in AF pathophysiology. Thirtytwo mutations (17 genes) have...
