What the study found

Who was studied 55,114 European ancestry cases, 482,295 European ancestry controls, 8,180 Japanese ancestry cases, 28,612 Japanese ancestry controls, 1,307 African American ancestry cases, 7,660 African American ancestry controls, 845 Hispanic cases, 4,177 Hispanic controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.06 times the odds of Atrial fibrillation (95% confidence interval 1.04-1.08); p = 6 × 10−9.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 18% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q22.31 — in an intron of USP3.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs146311723

What is rs146311723?

rs146311723 is a single position in the genome, in or near the USP3 gene. Published research associates it with 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 rs146311723 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 rs146311723 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 rs146311723 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:29892015. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
