Background: Previous case-control studies on association between KCNE1 G38S polymorphism and risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) have been published but because of the conflicting results and small sample size of individual studies, the consolidated result is still controversial.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between KCNE1 G38S polymorphism and risk of AF.
Methods: We performed a comprehensive literature search on PubMed, Embase, OVID, Web of Science, Wan Fang, and CNKI databases up to March 10, 2017 in English and Chinese languages. Two of the authors individually extracted study data and assessed the study quality using Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were combined in different genetic models for evaluation using a random-effect model or fixed-effect model according to interstudy heterogeneity.
Results: There were totally 14 independent case-control studies of 2810 patients and 3080 healthy controls included. Significant associations were found between KCNE1 G38S polymorphism and AF in overall population under all genetic models: allelic (OR: 1.34, 95% CI: 1.24-1.45, P < .001), homozygous (OR: 1.90, 95% CI: 1.61-2.24, P < .001), heterozygous (OR: 1.43, 95% CI: 1.21-1.68, P < .001), recessive (OR: 1.42, 95% CI: 1.20-1.69, P < .001), dominant genetic model (OR: 1.62, 95% CI: 1.39-1.89, P < .001). Subgroup analyses indicated similar association in Chinese and white.
Conclusions: The G38S polymorphism in the KCNE1 gene can significantly increase the risk of AF in both Chinese and white.

Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is associated with high genetic and allelic heterogeneity. In some cases, more than one genetic variant is identified in the same (compound heterozygosity) or different (digenic heterozygosity) genes, and subjects with multiple pathogenic mutations may have a more severe disease. Standard-of-care clinical genetic testing for this and other arrhythmia susceptibility syndromes improves the identification of complex genotypes.

Latent pathogenicity of the G38S polymorphism of KCNE1 K channel modulator.

KCNE1 encodes a modulator of KCNQ1 and KCNH2 channels. Although KCNE1(G38S), a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) causing a G38S substitution in KCNE1, is found frequently, whether and how this SNP causes long QT syndrome (LQTS) remains unclear. We evaluated rate-dependent repolarization dynamics using Holter electrocardiogram (ECG) to assess the pathogenicity of KCNE1(G38S).

Correlation analysis between the delayed rectifier potassium channel KCNE1 (G38S) polymorphism and atrial fibrillation among the senior Uygur population in Xinjiang.

Current resources to support genetic screening among the Uygur population in Xinjiang territory for atrial fibrillation (AF) have not been well established and large-scale epidemiological analyses are needed. Using patients from the Xinjiang Uygur population as subjects, and the delayed rectifier potassium channel KCNE1 and its associated polymorphism G38S (rs1805127) as the candidate gene, we analyzed the correlation between the G38S polymorphism and AF among the senior Uygur population in Xinjiang Province. Peripheral blood from AF Uygur patients (patient group) or non-AF Uygur patients (control group) from Xinjiang territory was collected (70 patients each).
