The most significant variant at each genetic locus associated with atrial fibrillation is listed. Gene names in bold font indicate that the variant is located within the gene, whereas additional gene names indicate eQTL gene or gene strongly suspected to be causal due to the function of the encoded protein. For intergenic variants, the closest gene(s) are listed. Chr, chromosome; CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio; nonsyn, nonsynonymous.
