. . .  KvLQT1, minK, and two unknown genes at chromosome 6q1416 and 10q2224. These studies not only provide insight into the molecular genetic basis of atrial fibrillation but also suggest some possible pathophysiologic mechanisms in atrial fibrillation . We hope that genetic studies can lead to the discovery of new therapeutic targets for a more effective treatment of atrial fibrillation .
