Intriguingly, of the ten interaction partners prioritized for functional studies, three were candidate genes near loci with genome wide significance in GWAS of atrial fibrillation (MYZAP (P = 2 × 10−10) (ref. 39), SYNPO2L (P = 9 × 10−35) (ref. 39) and NEBL (P = 2 × 10−14) (ref. 40)). This evidence concerns the gene MYZAP and atrial fibrillation.
