What the study found

Who was studied 762,151 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 7.8 z-score higher; p = 6 × 10−15.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 12% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q33.2 — in an intron of WDR12.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Heart failure (MTAG). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Heart failure (MTAG). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Heart failure (MTAG). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs116678869

What is rs116678869?

rs116678869 is a single position in the genome, in or near the WDR12 gene. Published research associates it with heart failure (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs116678869 linked to?

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

Does having rs116678869 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 rs116678869 come from?

GWAS Catalog, NPJ genomic medicine 2025, PMID:41022758. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
