What the study found

Who was studied 60,620 European ancestry cases, 970,216 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.05 times the odds of Atrial fibrillation (95% confidence interval 1.03-1.06); p = 6 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 68% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q34.1 — in the 3′ untranslated region of HAND2-AS1.

What each result means

A/A 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.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Atrial fibrillation. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Atrial fibrillation. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs10520260

What is rs10520260?

rs10520260 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HAND2 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 rs10520260 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 rs10520260 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 rs10520260 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:30061737. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
