Résumé
Atrial fibrillation (AF) has a genetic basis, and environmental factors can modify its actual pathogenesis. The purpose of this study was to construct a combined risk assessment method including both genetic and clinical factors in the Japanese population. We screened a cohort of 540 AF patients and 520 non-AF controls for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously associated with AF by genome-wide association studies. The most strongly associated SNPs after propensity score analysis were then used to calculate a weighted genetic risk score (WGRS). We also enrolled 1018 non-AF Japanese subjects as a validation cohort and monitored AF emergence over several years. Finally, we constructed a logistic model for AF prediction combining WGRS and clinical risk factors. We identified 5 SNPs (in PRRX1, ZFHX3, PITX2, HAND2, and NEURL1) associated with AF after Bonferroni correction. There was a 4.92-fold difference in AF risk between the highest and lowest WGRS calculated using these 5 SNPs (P = 2.32 × 10 This novel predictive model of combined AF-associated SNPs and known clinical risk factors can accurately stratify AF risk in the Japanese population.

BACKGROUND
Atrial fibrillation (AF) has a genetic basis, and environmental factors can modify its actual pathogenesis.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to construct a combined risk assessment method including both genetic and clinical factors in the Japanese population.
METHODS
We screened a cohort of 540 AF patients and 520 non-AF controls for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously associated with AF by genome-wide association studies. The most strongly associated SNPs after propensity score analysis were then used to calculate a weighted genetic risk score (WGRS). We also enrolled 1018 non-AF Japanese subjects as a validation cohort and monitored AF emergence over several years. Finally, we constructed a logistic model for AF prediction combining WGRS and clinical risk factors.
RESULTS
We identified 5 SNPs (in PRRX1, ZFHX3, PITX2, HAND2, and NEURL1) associated with AF after Bonferroni correction. There was a 4.92-fold difference in AF risk between the highest and lowest WGRS calculated using these 5 SNPs (P = 2.32 × 10
CONCLUSION
This novel predictive model of combined AF-associated SNPs and known clinical risk factors can accurately stratify AF risk in the Japanese population.
