Patent ID: 8795963

Claim:
A method for determining a susceptibility to a condition selected from the group consisting of: cardiac arrhythmia selected from Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter, and Stroke, in a human individual, the method comprising: analyzing nucleic acid from a biological sample from the human individual for a T allele of a polymorphic marker rs7193343; detecting a T allele of rs7193343 in the nucleic acid; determining that the individual has an increased genetic susceptibility to a condition selected from the group consisting of: cardiac arrhythmia selected from Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter, and Stroke from the detection of the T allele of rs7193343 in the nucleic acid; and performing an electrocardiogram or initiating anticoagulant therapy on the individual determined to have the increased susceptibility to the condition.
