near JCAD · rs10740811

What the study found

Who was studied 34,532 European ancestry individuals, 5,156 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.057 higher; p = 6 × 10−25.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 41% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10p11.23 — between genes, 134 kb from JCAD.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Descending thoracic aortic diameter. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Descending thoracic aortic diameter. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Descending thoracic aortic diameter. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs10740811

What is rs10740811?

rs10740811 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near JCAD gene. Published research associates it with descending thoracic aortic diameter. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs10740811 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 rs10740811 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2022, PMID:34837083. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
