As in Europeans, a specific type of titin gene mutation increased atrial fibrillation, dilated cardiomyopathy, and heart failure risk, pointing to the potential importance of testing.
Using a "sliding power window" method, the company found certain gene variant carriers with atrial fibrillation at higher risk for cardiomyopathies.
Researchers developed assays to assess PRSs for six common conditions, along with methods for sharing the results with doctors and patients.
