SMG6 · rs112258894

What the study found

Who was studied 1,903 European ancestry cases, 428,916 European ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 35% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p13.3 — in an intron of SMG6.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Mitral valve prolapse after mitral valve surgery. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Mitral valve prolapse after mitral valve surgery. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Mitral valve prolapse after mitral valve surgery. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs112258894

What is rs112258894?

rs112258894 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SMG6 gene. Published research associates it with mitral valve prolapse after mitral valve surgery. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs112258894 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 rs112258894 come from?

GWAS Catalog, European heart journal 2022, PMID:35245370. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
