16. the germline familial mutations in Cx40 impair the gap junctions through different mechanisms, which may predispose the mutant carriers to AF. PMID: 23348765
17. Presence of the Cx40 minor allele (-44 G --> A) results in a uniform down-regulation of right atrial appendage Cx40 protein which was not significantly related to development of post-operative AF. PMID: 22423256
18. Pro265Ser variant in the carboxyl-terminus of connexin 40 alters GAP junctions and increases risk for tetralogy of Fallot. PMID: 22713807
19. Genotyping of rs10465885 showed that the patients with early-onset lone AF were more likely to carry the A allele compared with controls (odds ratio = 1.30; P = 0.011). PMID: 23040431
20. Cx40 coding SNPs are uncommon in atrial fibrillation populations, although rare mutations in this gene may lead to atrial fibrillation pathogenesis. PMID: 23134779
21. Results implicate GJA5 as the gene responsible for the congenital heart disease phenotypes observed with copy number imbalances at this locus. PMID: 22199024
22. our study could not detect an association of Cx40 promoter polymorphisms and CAD in human PMID: 22405441
23. This is the first evidence of intrinsic differences in the Ca2+ regulatory properties of Cx43 and Cx40. PMID: 22422398
24. Heteromeric cotransfection of Cx40-WT and Cx40-Q58L resulted in homogenous distribution of proteins in the plasma membrane rather than in membrane plaques in approximately 50% of cells; well-defined gap junctions were observed in other cells. PMID: 22247482
25. Regulation of endothelial connexin40 expression by shear stress via PI3K/Akt pathway. PMID: 22021330
26. Association between hereditary sick sinus node syndrome and connexin 40 gene polymorphism was demonstrated. PMID: 21649591
27. There is an alternate promoter polymorphism that directly affects levels of Cx40 mRNA in vivo and is associated with early-onset lone atrial fibrillation. PMID: 21076161
28. Three novel connexin40 mutations (p.V85I, p.L221I, and p.L229M) were identified which co-segregated with atrial fibrillation and were absent in the controls without atrial fibrillation. PMID: 20650941
29. In patients with cerebral ischemic events, without prior CVD, a higher prevalence of the Cx40 gene polymorphism, as a marker of underlying idiopathic atrial fibrillation appeared to be absent. PMID: 19494781
30. Data suggest that these dynamic changes of connexins 43, 40 and 45 during mouse cardiac development appear to be mirrored in the human. PMID: 12064615

33. 505 CHD cases were screened for the Cx40 gene to see if altered copy number associated with a cardiac phenotype. 3 cases carred deletions on chromosome 1q21.1 spanning ACPL1, Cx40, and Cx50 genes, with aortic arch anomalies being a particular feature. PMID: 15117819
34. The -44A allele & -44AA genotype were significantly more frequent in subjects with prior AF than in those without, providing strong evidence linking Cx40 polymorphisms to enhanced atrial vulnerability and increased risk of AF. PMID: 15297374
35. Coinheritance of Cx40 polymorphisms is a possible genetic factor that modifies the clinical manifestation of this inherited arrhythmia. PMID: 16188595
36. We conclude that decidual secretion of growth factors, such as EGF, may act to prime trophoblast for migration/invasion through modulation of connexin expression and function. PMID: 16545451
