Mosaic loss of chromosome Y (mLOY), the most common somatic mutation, prompts fibrotic heart diseases. We hypothesized that it accelerates atrial fibrillation (AF) and contributes to its sex disparity. A total of 214,405 male participants from the UK Biobank without prevalent AF were included, with a median follow-up of 14.31 years. mLOY was associated with a 16% higher AF risk, with 9.6% and 6.4% of the association mediated by neutrophils and monocytes. AF risk of males with mLOY was 98% higher than that of matched females. Thus, mLOY is associated with a slightly increased AF risk, and might partly contribute to sex disparity of AF.
Y染色体嵌合缺失(mLOY)是最常见的体细胞突变,可引发心脏纤维化疾病。我们推测,它会加速心房颤动(AF)并导致其性别差异。研究纳入了英国生物银行中214,405名无AF病史的男性参与者,中位随访时间为14.31年。mLOY与AF风险高16%相关,其中9.6%和6.4%的关联由中性粒细胞和单核细胞介导。患有mLOY的男性发生AF的风险比匹配的女性高98%。因此,mLOY与AF风险略有增加相关,可能部分导致了AF的性别差异。
