Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly encountered arrhythmia and is associated with an elevated risk of stroke. Improving the identification of patients with the highest risk for AF to enable appropriate surveillance and treatment, if necessary, is critical to reducing AF-associated morbidity and mortality. Multiple common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are unequivocally associated with the lifetime risk of AF. In the current study we aimed to prospectively validate an AF genetic risk score (GRS) in previously undiagnosed patients at risk for AF. Individuals 40 years of age or older with 1 clinical risk factor for AF, presenting with symptoms of AF, or with a first diagnosis of AF, were enrolled for genetic testing and ambulatory cardiac rhythm monitoring with an adhesive patch monitor or a long-term Holter monitor (mean wear time 10 days 21 hours and 13 days 18 hours, respectively). An AF event was the first diagnosis of AF by ECG, patch monitor, or long-term Holter monitor. The AF GRS was determined for each participant based on the weighted contribution of 12 genetic risk loci. Of 904 participants, 85 manifested AF. Their mean age was 66.2 (SD 11.8) years; 38% of participants were male. Participants in the highest quintile of AF GRS were more likely (odds ratio 3.11; 95% CI 1.27–7.58; p = 0.01) to have had an AF event than participants in the lowest quintile after adjusting for age, sex, smoking status, BMI, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, heart failure, and prior myocardial infarction. Study limitations included an ethnically homogenous population, a restricted rhythm monitoring period, and the evolving discovery of SNPs associated with AF. Prospective assessment of a GRS for AF identified participants with elevated risk of AF beyond established clinical criteria. Accordingly, a GRS for AF could be incorporated into overall risk assessment to better identify patients at the highest risk of developing AF, although further testing in larger populations is needed to confirm these findings. ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01970969 In prospective cohort study, Eric Topol and colleague validate a genetic risk score for identification of patients at the highest risk of developing atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common heart rhythm disturbance that can lead to devastating strokes. While clinical factors such as age, high blood pressure, and obesity can increase the chances of developing AF, several genetic determinants of AF also play a role. Here we assessed the ability of a genetic risk score (GRS) for AF to identify individuals presenting with symptoms with the highest likelihood of AF on cardiac rhythm monitoring. Individuals 40 years of age or older with at least 1 clinical risk factor for AF presenting either with symptoms of AF or with the first diagnosis of AF on electrocardiogram were enrolled. A patch-based or long-term Holter cardiac rhythm monitor was fitted to individuals without AF on electrocardiogram, and they were monitored for upwards of 2 weeks. DNA was isolated from a blood sample, and an AF GRS was calculated for each participant. We found that individuals with the highest AF GRSs were 3 times more likely to be diagnosed with AF during the study than participants with the lowest AF GRSs. An AF GRS may be incorporated into an overall risk assessment strategy to better identify patients at the highest risk of developing AF. For patients with stroke of unknown origin, a high AF GRS may be helpful to guide diagnostic testing. In the future, individuals with high AF genomic risk may be able to use this information to help prevent the arrhythmia from occurring.
