NEURL rs6584555 and CAND2 rs4642101 contribute to postoperative atrial fibrillation: a prospective study among Chinese population.

ABSTRACT: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a serious, common complication after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Recently, 5 novel loci were identified to be associated with atrial fibrillation susceptibility using a combination of genotyping, eQTL mapping, and functional validation. In current study, we aim to evaluated the positive findings for POAF susceptibility after CABG among Chinese population, using a population-based, two-stage, nested case-control study with 1,400 patients. NEURL rs12415501 and CAND2 rs4642101 were significantly associated with POAF susceptibility after CABG among Chinese population in both stages. When pooled together, the ORs for each additional copy of minor allele was 1.29 (95% CI: 1.13-1.48, P = 1.7×10-4) for NEURL rs12415501, and 1.21 (95%
