FBN1 Mutation and Atrial Fibrillation
Scientific Questions Being Studied
We believe that tall people with atrial fibrillation may have undiagnosed Marfan Syndrome. Understanding this relationship could improve screening of both atrial fibrillation and Marfan Syndrome. Furthermore this could give insight on the cellular mechanisms at playing possibly aiding in better understanding of both Atrial Fibrillation and Marfan Syndromes pathogenesis.
Project Purpose(s)
- Disease Focused Research (atrial fibrillation)
- Ancestry
Scientific Approaches
We will start with an Atrial Fibrillation cohort irregardless of age, gender, or ethnicity. From there we will analyze the prevalence of FBN1 mutations in this cohort. FBN1 mutation is the known genetic mutation in Marfan Syndrome. We will then compare the heights of all individuals in the cohort who have both atrial fibrillation and FBN1 mutation to further assess the role height has.
Anticipated Findings
We believe that mutations in FBN1 genes will increase in prevalence in people with atrial fibrillation as their height increases. The results of this study could possibly advocate for an increased awareness for Marfan Syndrome, it could change how we screen for both atrial fibrillation and Marfan Syndrome, and lastly the results could help advance our understanding of the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation and aid in discovery of future therapeutic interventions
