Who was studied 9,118 East Asian ancestry cases, 33,467 East Asian ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele carried 1.39 times the odds of Atrial fibrillation (95% confidence interval 1.33-1.45); p = 1 × 10−48.
Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q25 — between genes, 59.2 kb from LOC124900857.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Atrial fibrillation. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Atrial fibrillation. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo 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.

Questions about rs16997168
What is rs16997168?
rs16997168 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PITX2 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 rs16997168 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 rs16997168 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 rs16997168 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Eur J Clin Invest 2021, PMID:33990960. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
