Cross-population GWAS and proteomics improve risk prediction and reveal mechanisms in atrial fibrillation - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40645996
ABSTRACT: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia with strong genetic components, yet its underlying molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets remain incompletely understood. We conducted a cross-population genome-wide meta-analysis of 252,438 AF cases and identified 525 loci that met genome-wide significance. Two loci of PITX2 and ZFHX3 genes were identified as shared across populations of different ancestries. Comprehensive gene prioritization approaches reinforced the role of muscle development and heart contraction while also uncovering additional pathways, including cellular response to transforming growth factor-beta. Population-specific genetic correlations uncovered common and unique circulatory comorbidities between Europeans and Africans. Mendelian ra

Lifestyle context
Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.
Discuss with your doctor
-
AFib risk stratification and personalized screening strategy High
Genetic predisposition warrants proactive discussion of screening protocols, risk factors, and prevention strategies specific to this individual
Lifestyle
-
excessive alcohol consumption Moderate
Alcohol triggers atrial fibrillation through sympathetic activation and autonomic effects; genetic predisposition amplifies this risk
limit to moderate intake (women: up to 1 drink/day, men: up to 2 drinks/day)
-
regular aerobic exercise Moderate
Aerobic exercise improves cardiovascular autonomic balance and reduces arrhythmia substrate, lowering atrial fibrillation risk in genetically predisposed
150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise
Screening
-
baseline and periodic ECG screening High
Genetic predisposition to atrial fibrillation increases arrhythmia risk; early ECG detection enables timely intervention
baseline ECG at age 30-40, then per physician guidance
