Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Bahaa Al-Azzam's research focuses on understanding the genetic underpinnings of atrial fibrillation (AF), particularly in relation to inherited channelopathies and ethnic minority populations. His work investigates the role of specific gene variants, such as those in the titin gene, in causing AF and driving atrial remodeling. Al-Azzam also examines the prevalence and burden of AF within specific patient groups, including individuals with sickle cell disease. His publications explore the association between genetic factors, symptom burden, and social determinants of health in AF patients. He has contributed to the understanding of AF mechanisms through studies involving loss-of-function mutations and missense variants.
