Abstract
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke. Whether prothrombotic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) impact stroke risk in AF is not well known.
Objectives: To investigate the joint effects of 5 prothrombotic SNPs and AF on ischemic stroke risk.
Methods: A subcohort (n = 14 583) was randomly sampled from the Tromsø (1994-2012) and the Trøndelag Health (1995-2008) studies. DNA was genotyped for rs8176719 (ABO blood type), rs6025 (factor [F]V Leiden), rs1799963 (prothrombin G20210A), rs2066865 (fibrinogen-γ), and rs2036914 (F11). Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% CIs for incident ischemic stroke were estimated by AF status for individual SNPs and by categories of a genetic risk score.
Results: A total of 1091 participants developed AF during follow-up, of whom 169 (15.5%) subsequently had a stroke. Having ≥1 risk allele in prothrombin, FV Leiden, F11, or fibrinogen-γ was not associated with excess stroke risk in AF. In the absence of AF, ≥1 risk allele(s) in ABO was not associated with stroke (HR, 1.03; 95% CI, 0.85-1.25), whereas those with AF and ≥1 risk allele(s) in ABO had a 1.4-fold increased stroke risk compared with those with AF and no risk allele (HR, 1.42; 95% CI, 0.99-2.04). There was no linear increase in stroke risk across categories of the genetic risk score in participants either with or without AF.
Conclusion: Most prothrombotic SNPs were not associated with ischemic stroke risk, regardless of AF status. The ABO SNP was associated with ischemic stroke risk in those with AF only.
