Aortic valve mean gradient

near RNU6-261P · rs140798921

What the study found

Who was studied 59,571 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0798 lower (95% confidence interval 0.052-0.108); p = 3 × 10−8.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 96% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q14.1 — between genes, 170.1 kb from RNU6-261P.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs140798921

What is rs140798921?

rs140798921 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RNU6-261P gene. Published research associates it with aortic valve mean gradient. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs140798921 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 rs140798921 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2026, PMID:41419685. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
