ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Genome-wide association studies have revealed that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) and can predict AF recurrence after catheter ablation in different populations. However, there exists no such data for the Turkish population. We aimed to investigate whether 11 SNPs in the PITX2, ZFHX3, EPHX2, CAV1, TBX5, TGF-1, and SCN10A were related to AF and whether these SNPs can predict long-term atrial tachyarrhythmia (ATa) recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for AF in Turkish patients.METHODS:
A total of 245 consecutive patients with non-valvular AF (44.9% men, mean age 60.2±13.2 years, 65.3% paroxysmal AF) and 50 age- and sex-matched controls were included in this analysis. The clinical features and genetic variants were compared between the 2 groups. Of the 245 patients, 128 who underwent PVI with second-generation cryoballoon were further examined for long-term recurrence after the procedure.RESULTS:
Four SNPs in PITX2 were significantly associated with AF (rs10033464_T OR 3.29, 95%CI 1.38-7.82, p=0.007; rs6838973_T OR 3.06, 95% CI 1.36-6.87, p=0.007; rs3853445_C OR 2.84, 95%CI 1.27-6.36, p=0.011; rs17570669_T OR 4.03, 95% CI 1.71-9.51, p=0.001). Among these patients who underwent PVI, one locus in CAV1 (rs3807989_G OR 4.50, 95% CI 1.04-19.31, p=0.043) and early recurrence (OR 8.06, 95% CI 2.12-30.55, p=0.002) predicted long-term AF recurrence after catheter ablation.CONCLUSION:
Significant associations exists between 4 SNPs in PITX2 and AF (rs10033464, rs6838973, rs3853445, and rs17570669) in Turkish patients. In addition, 1 genetic variant in CAV1 (rs3807989) and early recurrence can predict long-term ATa recurrence after catheter ablation.
