Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 55,114 European ancestry cases, 482,295 European ancestry controls, 8,180 Japanese ancestry cases, 28,612 Japanese ancestry controls, 1,307 African American ancestry cases, 7,660 African American ancestry controls, 845 Hispanic cases, 4,177 Hispanic controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.10 times the odds of Atrial fibrillation (95% confidence interval 1.08-1.12); p = 2 × 10⁻³².

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 31% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q31.2 — between genes, 0.6 kb from FAM13B.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Atrial fibrillation. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Atrial fibrillation. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Atrial fibrillation. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs10479177

What is rs10479177?

rs10479177 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FAM13B gene. Published research associates it with atrial fibrillation. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs10479177 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Atrial Fibrillation. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs10479177 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 rs10479177 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:29892015. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
