Genome-wide association study of 1 million people identifies 111 loci for atrial fibrillation

2018-01-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> To understand the genetic variation underlying atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhythmia, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of > 1 million people, including 60,620 AF cases and 970,216 controls. We identified 163 independent risk variants at 111 loci and prioritized 165 candidate genes likely to be involved in AF. Many of the identified risk variants fall near...
