Germline versus somatic mutations in genetic atrial fibrillation

P-Glycoprotein Expression in Heart, and its Potential Physiological Relevance

“…Are there differences between germ line and somatic mutations as recently reported in atrial fibrillation an abnormal condition also described in SUDEP? [28,29]. According with these observations some electric heart alterations are commonly found during or after seizure, particularly in patients with refractory epilepsy, and they can offer a key answers for our questions [30][31][32].…”
