Rs16847548

rs16847548 and rs16856785 strongly associated with QT interval

Based on a large study of 19,000+ adults, SNPs rs10494366, rs4657139 and rs16847548 were significantly associated with adjusted QT interval in whites but not in African-Americans. The relative hazard of sudden cardiac death (SCD) associated with each rs16847548(C) allele was 1.31 (CI: 1.10 - 1.56, p=0.002). rs12567209 was also independently associated with SCD in whites (relative hazard 0.57, CI: 0.39 - 0.83, p=0.003).
