Genotyping was performed using the GenomeLab SNPstream genotyping platform for five IS-relevant SNPs (MMP-9 C1562T, ALOX5AP SG13S114A/T, MTHFR 677 C/T, FGB 455 G/A, and eNOS G298A) in 479 AF patients with CES and 580 age and sex-matched AF patients without CES.

We found for the first time that the A allele of FGB 455 G/A was a risk factor for CES in AF patients, probably by elevating the level of plasma fibrinogen.
We discovered that variants previously shown to associate with atrial fibrillation (AF), rs2200733 and rs10033464, significantly associated with IS, with the strongest risk for CES.
