 +  *most AF is related to high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease
 +  *~22% risk is genetic(([[https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-026-73113-0|2026: Gene-gene interactions between a LMNA variant and common polymorphisms drive early-onset atrial fibrillation]]))
 +    * both rare and common genetic variants contribute to AF susceptibility
 +    * > 100 common variants associated with AF
 +    * individually rare, high-impact variants
 +    * protein-altering LMNA variants (PAVs) which encode the nuclear envelope protein Lamin A/C 
 +      * these are associated with conduction system disease, AF, ventricular arrhythmias, and dilated cardiomyopathy
 +      * AF is highly prevalent and an early manifestation in LMNA-associated cardiomyopathy
