Previous studies shown that myeloperoxidase (MPO) level is higher in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF); however, no genetic evidence between MPO and AF risk in human population was observed. Therefore, the present study was aimed to investigate the association between rs2243828, a variant in promoter region of MPO and the risk of AF in Chinese GeneID population. The results demonstrated that the minor G allele of rs2243828 showed a significant association with AF in two independent populati ...[more]
