Where this position leads

What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Myocardial infarction — no copies of the reported risk allele.

G/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Myocardial infarction.

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Myocardial infarction compared to the general population.

Questions about rs1544935

What is rs1544935?

rs1544935 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KCNK5 gene. Published research associates it with myocardial infarction. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1544935 linked to?

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

Does having rs1544935 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 rs1544935 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2015, PMID:26343387. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
