Genome-wide association and multi-omic analyses reveal ACTN2 as a gene linked to heart failure

Heart failure has a heterogeneous etiology and the genetic underpinnings are not well understood. Here, Arvanitis et al. perform GWAS meta-analysis including 10,976 heart failure cases and 437,573 controls, identify new loci near ABO and ACTN2 and show that deletion of a ACTN2 enhancer leads to redu...
