Atrial fibrillation (AF) affects 33.5 million individuals worldwide. It accounts for 15% of strokes and increases risk of heart failure and sudden death. The voltage‐gated cardiac sodium channel complex is responsible for the generation and conduction of the cardiac action potential, and composed of the main pore‐forming α‐subunit Nav1.5 (encoded by theSCN5Agene) and one or more auxiliary β‐subunits, including Navβ1 to Navβ4 encoded bySCN1BtoSCN4B, respectively. We and others identified loss‐of‐function mutations inSCN1BandSCN2Band dominant‐negative mutations inSCN3Bin patients with AF. Three missense variants inSCN4Bwere identified in sporadic AF patients and small nuclear families; however, the association betweenSCN4Bvariants and AF remains to be further defined. In this study, we performed mutational analysis inSCN4Busing a panel of 477 AF patients, and identified one nonsynonymous genomic variant p.Gly8Ser in four patients. To assess the association between the p.Gly8Ser variant and AF, we carried out case‐control association studies with two independent populations (944 AF patients vs. 9,81 non‐AF controls in the first discovery population and 732 cases and 1,291 controls in the second replication population). Significant association was identified in the two independent populations and in the combined population (p= 4.16 × 10−4, odds ratio [OR] = 3.14) between p.Gly8Ser and common AF as well as lone AF (p= 0.018, OR = 2.85). These data suggest that rare variant p.Gly8Ser ofSCN4Bconfers a significant risk of AF, andSCN4Bis a candidate susceptibility gene for AF.
