Genetic Investigation Into the Differential Risk of Atrial Fibrillation Among Black and White Individuals
AssociationN=17,325Jason D. Roberts et al.(2016)· JAMA Cardiology

This genome-wide admixture analysis of three population-based cohorts (CHS, ARIC, Health ABC; n=17,325) investigated whether 9 known atrial fibrillation (AF) SNPs explain the paradoxically higher AF risk in Whites compared to Blacks. Using Cox proportional hazards models, rs10824026 (in SYNPO2L/MYOZ1) significantly mediated 11.4% (95% CI 2.9-29.9%) and 31.7% (95% CI 16.0-53.0%) of the excess AF risk in Whites in CHS and ARIC respectively. Admixture mapping across 4,938 Black participants identified no loci reaching genome-wide significance (p<7×10⁻⁶), suggesting the racial differential in AF risk is driven by multiple genetic and/or environmental factors rather than single variants.

About AOPEP

This gene encodes a member of the M1 zinc aminopeptidase family. The encoded protein is a zinc-dependent metallopeptidase that catalyzes the removal of an amino acid from the amino terminus of a protein or peptide. This protein may play a role in the generation of angiotensin IV. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]
