Ascending aorta minimum area

THSD4 · rs11855326

What the study found

Who was studied 35,110 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0642 higher (95% confidence interval 0.049-0.08); p = 1 × 10−15.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 73% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q23 — in an intron of THSD4.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs11855326

What is rs11855326?

rs11855326 is a single position in the genome, in or near the THSD4 gene. Published research associates it with ascending aorta minimum area. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11855326 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 rs11855326 come from?

GWAS Catalog, EBioMedicine 2022, PMID:34968759. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
