Prevalent atrial fibrillation

PKP2 · rs1454934

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 8,656 European ancestry cases, 102,776 European ancestry controls..

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.16 times the odds of Prevalent atrial fibrillation (95% confidence interval 1.1-1.22); p = 4 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 16% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12p11.21 — in an intron of PKP2.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Prevalent atrial fibrillation. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Prevalent atrial fibrillation. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Prevalent atrial fibrillation. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs1454934

What is rs1454934?

rs1454934 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PKP2 gene. Published research associates it with prevalent atrial fibrillation. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1454934 linked to?

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

Does having rs1454934 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 rs1454934 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2017, PMID:28416818. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
