Coronary artery calcification

near LINC00841 · rs10899970

What the study found

Who was studied 28,655 European ancestry individuals, 8,065 African American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.095 higher (95% confidence interval 0.062-0.128); p = 3 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 47% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q11.21 — between genes, 35.8 kb from LINC00841.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Coronary artery calcification. 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 Coronary artery calcification. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Coronary artery calcification. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs10899970

What is rs10899970?

rs10899970 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC00841 gene. Published research associates it with coronary artery calcification. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs10899970 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 rs10899970 come from?

GWAS Catalog, GWAS Catalog n.d., PMID:37770635. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
