Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia that affects millions of people. a substantial genetic contribution to AF has been identified by number of studies over the years. The SNP that is often linked with genetic predisposition to AF is rs2200733 located in the intergenic region close to PITX2 gene which is implicated in cardiac structure and function. rs2200733 is commonly observed in major global populations. Our study aimed to establish the prevalence of this important SNP among young healthy adults in order to assess the risk of genetic susceptibility which could culminate into AF later in life. The study identified a substantial frequency of rs2200733 in Indian population at 21%.
