"We hypothesized that early-onset lone AF was associated with genetic variation in SCN5A. The coding sequence of SCN5A was sequenced in 192 patients with early-onset lone AF."

sparser
"It is, however, noteworthy that SCN5A mutations have been associated with AF in patients with Brugada [ xref ]."

sparser
"14 Finally, two very recent publications have demonstrated that SCN5A mutations are associated with AF, both in isolated forms 15,16 and in patients with underlying heart disease."

sparser
"For example, variations in the gene SCN5A, which is associated with lone AF [ xref ], have shown to accelerate the process of ventricular fibrosis [ xref ] that may in turn be responsible for a prolonged QRSd."

reach
"One loss of function variant was identified in the cardiac sodium channel, SCN5A that resulted in reduced peak sodium current density and has previously been associated with AF."

sparser
"There are mutations or rare variants in SCN5A that have been associated with familial AF [ xref , xref ]."

sparser
"However, mutations in genes other than SCN5A have also been associated with AF, including SCN10A and SCN1B ."

sparser
"These results indicate that a defect in the SCN5A gene is not associated with AF events or with VF events as was previously reported ( 1 ), suggesting that genetic analysis is not useful for risk st[MISSING/INVALID CREDENTIALS: limited to 200 char for Elsevier]"
