Who was studied 2,987 European ancestry cases, 117,299 European ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele carried 1.70 times the odds of Atrial fibrillation (95% confidence interval 1.42-2.03); p = 9 × 10−9.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12p12.1 — between genes, 31 kb from RASSF8-AS1.
What each result means
C/CTwo copies of the version the research linked to Atrial fibrillation. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Atrial fibrillation. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to Atrial fibrillation. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
rs117640426 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RASSF8 gene. Published research associates it with atrial fibrillation. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs117640426 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Atrial Fibrillation. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs117640426 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 rs117640426 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Circ Cardiovasc Genet 2017, PMID:29237688. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
