Background: Recent studies suggest that mutation of the slow delayed rectifier potassium channel (IKs) contributes to familial atrial fibrillation (FAF). In the current study, we identified common genetic variants of KCNQ1 and explored the potential association between KCNQ1 polymorphism with lone AF (LAF).
Methods: Clinical data and blood samples were collected from 190 Han Chinese patients with sporadic AF and matched healthy controls.
