These summary statistics represent Atrial fibrillation case-control analyses in the Japanese population as represented 
in the BioBank Japan.

In the discovery set, a total of 8,180 patients from BioBank Japan who suffered from persistent atrial fibrillation or paroxysmal 
atrial fibrillation diagnosed by a physician. For controls, genotyping information for 28,612 individuals was collected from 
population-based controls. Individuals were exclued from the control population if they had a history of arrhythmia.

The case–control GWAS was performed using logistic regression analysis by incorporating associated principal components, age and 
sex as covariates. Whole-genome imputation analysis to the reference panel was based on the 1000 Genomes Project Phase I integrated 
release version 3 for individuals of East Asian descent comprising Japanese from Tokyo, Chinese from Beijing and Chinese from southern China.
