A Chromosome 4q25 Variant is Associated with Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Catheter Ablation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent studies suggested that variants on chromosome loci 4q25, 1q21, and 16q22 were associated with atrial fibrillation recurrence after catheter ablation. In this study, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the association between variants on chromosome loci 4q25, 1q21, and 16q22 and atrial fibrillation recurrence after catheter ablation.

Methods

We comprehensively searched the databases of MEDLINE and EMBASE from inception to January 2017. Included studies were published prospective or retrospective cohort and case control studies that compared the risk of atrial fibrillation recurrence after catheter ablation in AF patients with chromosome 4q25, 1q21, and 16q22 variants versus no variants. Single-nucleotide polymorphism rs1906617, rs21
