PR interval genome-wide association meta-analysis identifies 50 loci associated with atrial and atrioventricular electrical activity
19 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
Electrocardiographic PR interval measures atrio-ventricular depolarization and conduction, and abnormal PR interval is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation and heart block. Our genome-wide association study of over 92,000 European-descent individuals identifies 44 PR interval loci (34 novel). Examination of these loci reveals known and previously not-yet-reported biological processes involved in cardiac atrial...
