Abstract excerpt
Background and Objective: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and atrial fibrillation (AF) frequently co-occur, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We assessed whether genetic liability to COPD increases AF risk and mapped epigenetic mediators using multi-omics data. Methods: We integrated genome-wide association data for COPD and AF with epigenome-wide DNA methylation profiles and...
