Familial risk of Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome: a nationwide family study in Sweden
WPW features familial aggregation and increased arrhythmic risk among siblings of affected individuals despite its extremely low absolute frequency in the general population. The evidence of a measurable hereditary component within an otherwise sporadic, non-syndromic condition points to a genetic contribution driven by complex inheritance patterns.
