Mutations in the potassium channel subunit KCNE1 are associated with early-onset familial atrial fibrillation

BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia. The potassium current I(Ks )is essential for cardiac repolarization. Gain-of-function mutations in K(V)7.1, the pore-forming α-subunit of the I(Ks )channel, have been associated with AF. We hypothesized that early-onset lone AF is a...
