Multiple single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the Japanese population in six candidate genes for long QT syndrome

Journal of Human Genetics

Abstract

We report here 20 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including 15 novel ones, in six genes that are considered to be candidates for long QT syndrome (LQTS): 2 SNPs in KCNB1, 3 in KCND3, 3 in KCNJ11, 7 in ABCC9, 3 in ADRB1, and 2 in SLC18A2. We also examined their allelic frequencies in a Japanese sample population of LQTS-affected and nonaffected individuals. These data will be useful for genetic association studies designed to investigate acquired arrhythmias.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.
