EDNRA · rs6842241

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Intracranial aneurysm — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2012, PMID:22286173)
A/C Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Intracranial aneurysm. (GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2012, PMID:22286173)
C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Intracranial aneurysm compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2012, PMID:22286173)

Questions about rs6842241

What is rs6842241?

rs6842241 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EDNRA gene. Published research associates it with intracranial aneurysm. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6842241 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs6842241 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2012, PMID:22286173. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
