Atrial fibrillation is a chaotic atrial rhythm resulting from abnormal signal generation and conduction in the atria.
Atrial fibrillation, however, does occur in individuals with none of these causes, referred to as lone atrial fibrillation.
[ 29 ] However, pulse pressure was not independently associated with atrial fibrillation in our analysis.
Atrial fibrillation segregates as an autosomal dominant disease characterized by atrial fibrillation on an electrocardiogram [ 1 ] . We diagnosed atrial fibrillation in five families from Spain in which the arrhythmia was the primary manifestation and not associated with any gross cardiac or metabolic abnormality [ 1 ] . Genetic linkage analysis was performed and the locus responsible for atrial fibrillation in our family was mapped to 10q22 between markers D101786 and D10S1630, an area of about 11 cM [ 1 ] . We proceeded with the candidate gene approach and DLG5 was on of the genes mapped to the critical region between the flanking markers [ 2 ] . This gene belongs to the MAGUK (Membrane Associated Gyanylate Kinase) family of proteins known to form scaffolds for proteins involved in intracellular signal transduction [ 2 ] . The MAGUK family of proteins has been extensively studied in recent years and shown to play a role in the formation of cell junctions, maintenance of cell shape, [ 3 4 5 ] and clustering of channel proteins at the cell surface [ 6 7 8 ] . Given its location in our critical region and its function it was selected as a candidate for atrial fibrillation.
