Trans-ancestry genome-wide analysis of atrial fibrillation provides new insights into disease biology and enables polygenic prediction of cardioembolic risk
2021-09-12
Abstract excerpt
To understand the genetic underpinnings of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the Japanese population, we performed a large-scale genome-wide association study comprising 9,826 cases of AF among 150,272 individuals and identified five new susceptibility loci, including East Asian-specific rare variants. A trans-ancestry meta-analysis of >1 million individuals, including 77,690 cases, identified 35 novel loci. Leveraging...
