Descending aorta distensibility

near ELN · rs13231286

What the study found

Who was studied 33,907 European or unknown ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0489 higher (95% confidence interval 0.037-0.061); p = 8 × 10−15.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 53% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q11.23 — between genes, 27.5 kb from ELN.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs13231286

What is rs13231286?

rs13231286 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ELN gene. Published research associates it with descending aorta distensibility. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs13231286 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 rs13231286 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of the American College of Cardiology 2023, PMID:37019578. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
