WHOLE GENOME STUDY AT JOHNS HOPKINS REVEALS A NEW GENE ASSOCIATED WITH ABNORMAL HEART RHYTHM
Using a new genomic strategy that has the power to survey the entire human genome and identify genes with common variants that contribute to complex diseases, researchers at Johns Hopkins, together with scientists from Munich, Germany, and the Framingham Heart Study, U.S.A., have identified a gene that may predispose some people to abnormal heart rhythms that lead to sudden cardiac death, a condition affecting more than 300 thousand Americans each year.
