Left ventricular ejection fraction

PLEC · rs11784619

What the study found

Who was studied 36,083 European or unknown ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.536 lower (95% confidence interval 0.35-0.72); p = 5 × 10−9.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 94% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q24.3 — in the 5′ untranslated region of PLEC.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 2 submitters), last evaluated 2018-06-16. ClinVar record 667878 NM_201378.4(PLEC):c.71-915C>T

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 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

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Left ventricular ejection fraction. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Left ventricular ejection fraction. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Left ventricular ejection fraction. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs11784619

What is rs11784619?

rs11784619 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PLEC gene. Published research associates it with left ventricular ejection fraction. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11784619 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 rs11784619 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39966646. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
