What the study found

Who was studied 9,577 British ancestry cases, 327,959 British ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.263 lower (95% confidence interval 0.23-0.29); p = 4 × 10−65.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 69% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p36.22 — in an intron of CASZ1.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, single submitter (1 of 4 stars, 1 submitter), last evaluated 2020-02-17. ClinVar record 1260902 NM_001079843.3(CASZ1):c.-233-4663G>A

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-09-24 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Varicose veins — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Varicose veins.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Varicose veins compared to the general population.

Questions about rs11121615

What is rs11121615?

rs11121615 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CASZ1 gene. Published research associates it with varicose veins. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs11121615 linked to?

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

Does having rs11121615 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 rs11121615 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Circulation 2018, PMID:30566020. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
