The research of ion channel‐related gene polymorphisms with atrial fibrillation in the Chinese Han population

Abstract Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the common arrhythmia in clinics. Its incidence is high among the elderly. This study aimed to identify a possible connection between ion channel‐related gene polymorphisms and the risk of AF. Methods A total of 381 patients with coronary heart...

description Abstract Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the common arrhythmia in clinics. Its incidence is high among the elderly. This study aimed to identify a possible connection between ion channel‐related gene polymorphisms and the risk of AF. Methods A total of 381 patients with coronary heart disease were recruited. Based on complete cardiac examination, the patients were divided into two subgroups: 185 patients with AF and 196 patients without AF. An association analysis was performed using 13 genotyped SNPs. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated by conditional logistic regression. Results In our research, we found that KCNE2 rs8134775 was associated with a decreased AF risk in the allele model (OR = 0.70; 95% CI: 0.50–0.97; p = 0.034). Genetic model analysis shown that the minor allele T of GJA5 rs35594137 was associated with a decreased AF risk under the recessive model (OR = 0.40; 95% CI: 0.19–0.86; p = 0.018) and the minor allele G of KCNJ2 rs8079702 was associated with an increased AF risk in the recessive model (OR = 2.31; 95% CI: 1.20–4.42; p = 0.012). Conclusions Our results suggest that KCNE2, KCNJ2, and GJA5 influence the development of AF.
