Table 2. Association of QRS/QT interval associated SNPs with SCD.
Trait | Nearest Gene | Index SNP | Chr | Position | Coded/Non-coded Allele | Trait β | SCD OR (95% CI) | SCD P | Concordant Effect |
QRS | TKT/CACNA1D/PRKCD | rs4687718 | 3 | 53,257,343 | A/G | −0.63 | 1.27 (1.10–1.45) | 0.0007 | NO |
QRS | C6orf204/SLC35F1/PLN/BRD7P3 | §rs11153730 | 6 | 118,774,215 | C/T | 0.59 | 1.13 (1.02–1.25) | 0.013 | YES |
QT | NOS1AP | rs12143842 | 1 | 160,300,514 | T/C | 2.88 | 1.16 (1.03–1.3) | 0.010 | YES |

Chr, chromosome; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval. Results are drawn from the SCD GWAS only (n = 1283 case, >20,000 controls). Trait beta estimates (β) are in milliseconds (ms). P-values are for a two-tailed test. Concordant Effect refers to whether the QRS/QT prolonging allele is associated with increased risk of SCD. Bold indicates significant after Bonferroni correction for the 49 SNPs tested. QRS results are drawn from [14] and QT results are drawn from the QTSCD study [13]. § These SNP represent the same genetic effect (r2 = 0.91).
