Impact of rs1805127 and rs55742440 Variants on Atrial Remodeling in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: A Romanian Cohort Study.
International Journal of Molecular Sciences 2023 December 9
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is characterized by a complex genetic component. We aimed to investigate the association between variations in genes related to cardiac ion handling and AFib in a cohort of Romanian patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Forty-five unrelated probands with HCM were genotyped by targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) for 24 genes associated with cardiac ion homeostasis. Subsequently, the study cohort was divided into two groups based on the presence (AFib+) or absence (AFiB-) of AFib detected during ECG monitoring. We identified two polymorphisms (rs1805127 located in KCNE1 and rs55742440 located in SCN1B ) linked to AFib susceptibility. In AFib+, rs1805127 was associated with increased indexed left atrial (LA) maximal volume (LAVmax) (58.42 ± 21 mL/m2 vs. 32.54 ± 6.47 mL/m2 , p < 0.001) and impaired LA strain reservoir (LASr) (13.3 ± 7.5% vs. 24.4 ± 6.8%, p < 0.05) compared to those without respective variants. The rs55742440 allele was less frequent in patients with AFib+ (12 out of 25, 48%) compared to those without arrhythmia (15 out of 20, 75%, p = 0.05). Also, AFib+ rs55742440 carriers had significantly lower LAVmax compared to those who were genotype negative. Among patients with HCM and AFib+, the rs1805127 variant was accompanied by pronounced LA remodeling, whereas rs55742440's presence was related to a milder LA enlargement.
