Genetics of cardiovascular disease with emphasis on atrial fibrillation.

摘要: Cardiology has embraced the techniques of molecular genetics later than other medical disciplines but is now completely submerged in genetic mapping cardiac diseases. The biology, and particular, their application to inherited diseases, have brought clinician scientist together an unparalleled dependence. chromosomal genes responsible for disease requires identification families with This step involves cooperation clinician. In order continue improving our understanding basis, it imperative raise awareness role Arrhythmias can also a familial origin not generally appreciated that atrial fibrillation could be inherited. last two years, we identified more 100 all over world individuals affected by form disease. With area on chromosome 10 carries gene causing some there ongoing research identify specific mutation. clinician/scientist relationship just started discoveries will probably direct how approach medicine future, from prevention diseases patients carrying susceptibility therapy those
