BACKGROUND: A recent meta-analysis of several genome-wide association studies identified six new susceptibility single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for atrial fibrillation (AF) in individuals of the European ancestry. We aimed to replicate the associations between these SNPs and the risk of AF in a Chinese Han population. METHODS: We genotyped six SNPs (rs3903239 in PRRX1, rs3807989 in CAV1, rs10821415 in...
