Solid lines are connections this site curates. Dashed lines mean the two ends share a research paper — worth knowing, and not a claim that one explains the other.

What the study found

Who was studied 22,233 European ancestry cases, 64,762 European ancestry controls; replicated in 56,682 European ancestry cases and controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.10 times the odds of Coronary heart disease (95% confidence interval 1.06-1.13); p = 1 × 10−9.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 67% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p24.1 — in an intron of PHACTR1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12526453

What is rs12526453?

rs12526453 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PHACTR1 gene. Published research associates it with coronary heart disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs12526453 linked to?

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

What do people read about alongside rs12526453?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include heart and circulation (7 papers), blood sugar and insulin (1 papers), cholesterol and blood fats (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs12526453 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 rs12526453 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2011, PMID:21378990. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
