Electrocardiogram morphology (amplitude at temporal datapoints)

KCTD1 · rs12454640

What the study found

Who was studied 63,706 European and unknown ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0507 lower (95% confidence interval 0.039-0.062); p = 4 × 10−19.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 69% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q11.2 — in an intron of KCTD1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Electrocardiogram morphology (amplitude at temporal datapoints). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Electrocardiogram morphology (amplitude at temporal datapoints). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Electrocardiogram morphology (amplitude at temporal datapoints). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs12454640

What is rs12454640?

rs12454640 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KCTD1 gene. Published research associates it with electrocardiogram morphology (amplitude at temporal datapoints). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12454640 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 rs12454640 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell systems 2020, PMID:32916098. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
