Common variants at SCN5A-SCN10A and HEY2 are associated with Brugada syndrome, a rare disease with high risk of sudden cardiac death

Connie R. Bezzina, +80 more
- 01 Sep 2013 - 
TL;DR: The association signals at SCN5A-SCN10A demonstrate that genetic polymorphisms modulating cardiac conduction can also influence susceptibility to cardiac arrhythmia and indicate that common genetic variation can have a strong impact on the predisposition to rare diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic association analyses highlight biological pathways underlying mitral valve prolapse

TL;DR: The first risk loci for MVP are identified and new mechanisms involved in mitral valve regurgitation are suggested, including tensin 1, a focal adhesion protein involved in cytoskeleton organization, which is shown during valve morphogenesis.
