Solid lines are connections this site curates. Dashed lines mean the two ends share a research paper — worth knowing, and not a claim that one explains the other.
What the study found
Who was studied 3,413 cases, 37,105 referents; replicated in 2,145 cases, 4,073 controls.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele carried 1.65 times the odds of Atrial fibrillation; p = 4 × 10−63.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 12% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q25 — in an intron of LINC01438.
What each result means
A/ATwo 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.
A/COne copy of the version the research linked to Atrial fibrillation. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Atrial fibrillation. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
Papers in Europe PMC whose title or abstract names both this rsID and that subject. A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together — it is not a claim that this position explains the subject.
Questions about rs17042171
What is rs17042171?
rs17042171 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 rs17042171 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.
What do people read about alongside rs17042171?
Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include heart and circulation (6 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.
Does having rs17042171 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 rs17042171 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2009, PMID:19597492. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
