Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at chromosome 4q25 (near PITX2) are strongly associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). We assessed whether a 4q25-tagging SNP (rs2200733) is associated with PR interval duration in patients with lone and typical AF and controls. Patients with lone (n = 169) and typical (n = 269) AF enrolled in the Vanderbilt AF registry and controls (n = 1,403) derived from the Vanderbilt DNA Biobank were studied. Carriage of the rs2200733T allele (CT or TT genotype) was mo ...[more]
