While a heritable basis for sudden cardiac death (SCD) is suggested by the impact of family history on SCD risk, genetic determinants have been difficult to identify. We hypothesized that a common variant at chromosome 9p21 related to myocardial infarction would influence SCD risk. Prospective, nested case-control analysis among individuals of Caucasian ancestry enrolled in six prospective cohort studies. Study subjects were followed for development of SCD, and genotypes for rs10757274 were determined for 492 sudden and/or arrhythmic deaths and 1460 controls matched on age, sex, cohort, history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and follow-up time. Conditional logistic regression with fixed effects meta-analysis assuming an additive model was used to test for associations. When individual study results were combined in meta-analysis, each increasing copy of the G-allele at rs10757274 conferred a significantly elevated age-adjusted odds ratio for SCD equal to 1.21 (95% CI, 1.04–1.40; P=0.01). Control for cardiovascular and lifestyle risk factors strengthened these relationships (OR=1.29/G-allele copy, 95%CI: 1.09–1.53, p=0.003). These results were not materially altered in sensitivity analyses limited to definite SCDs or models that further controlled for the development of CVD or when a highly correlated variant rs2383207 was tested. The major allele of a SNP previously associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease events is associated with increased risk of SCD in individuals of European ancestry. Study of the mechanism underlying this association may improve our understanding of lethal CVD.
