Electrocardiographic traits (multivariate)

YPEL2 · rs142166837

What the study found

Who was studied 17,873 European ancestry individuals, 12,749 Hispanic individuals, 5,408 African American individuals, 315 Chinese-American individuals.

The effect The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 5 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q22 — in an intron of YPEL2.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Electrocardiographic traits (multivariate). 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 Electrocardiographic traits (multivariate). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Electrocardiographic traits (multivariate). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs142166837

What is rs142166837?

rs142166837 is a single position in the genome, in or near the YPEL2 gene. Published research associates it with electrocardiographic traits (multivariate). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs142166837 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 rs142166837 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Circulation. Genomic and precision medicine 2020, PMID:32602732. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
