Abstract
Background:Cardiac arrhythmias are a common health problem. Both common and rare genetic risk factors exist for cardiac arrhythmias. Cardiac amyloidosis is a rare disease that may manifest various arrhythmias. Few large-scale whole exome sequencing studies elucidating the contribution of rare variations to arrhythmias have been published.Objective:To access gene collapsing analysis of rare variations for different types of cardiac arrhythmias in UK Biobank. Identified genes were analyzed in silico for probability to form amyloid fibrils.Methods:We used 2 published UK Biobank portals (https://azphewas.com/ and https://app.genebass.org/) to access gene collapsing analysis of rare variations for different types of cardiac arrhythmias. Diagnosis of arrhythmia was based on the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) codes: conduction disorders (I44, I45), paroxysmal tachycardia (I47), atrial fibrillation (I48), and other arrhythmias (I49).Results:Rare variations in 5 genes were linked to conduction disorders (SCN5A, LMNA, SMAD6, HSPB9, TMEM95). The TTN gene was associated with both paroxysmal tachycardia and other arrhythmias. Atrial fibrillation was associated with rare variations in 8 genes (TTN, RPL3L, KLF1, TET2, NME3, KDM5B, PKP2, PMVK). Two of the genes linked to heart conduction disorders were potential amyloid-forming proteins (HSPB9, TMEM95), while none of the 8 genes linked to other types of arrhythmias were potential amyloid-forming proteins.Conclusion:Rare variations in 13 genes were associated with arrhythmias in the UK Biobank. Two of the heart conduction disorder-linked genes are potential amyloid-forming candidates. Amyloid formation may be an underestimated cause of heart conduction disorders.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
