Whole exome sequencing of 76 individuals with familial atrial fibrillation

We investigated genetic background of familial and early onset atrial fibrillation (AF) with the aim of identify genes involved in atrial fibrillation pathology and are highly predisposing risk factors. We performed whole exome sequencing on 24 families where three or more family members suffered from AF.
