Heart failure (MTAG)

near BAZ1A · rs1712355

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 95,524 European ancestry cases, 1,270,968 European ancestry controls (MTAG boosted by heart function-related trait samples).

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.00746 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0052-0.0097); p = 1 × 10⁻¹⁰.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 49% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q13.2 — between genes, 1.8 kb from BAZ1A-AS1.

What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Heart failure (MTAG) compared to the general population.

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

T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Heart failure (MTAG) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs1712355

What is rs1712355?

rs1712355 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near BAZ1A gene. Published research associates it with heart failure (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1712355 linked to?

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

Does having rs1712355 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 rs1712355 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:41184235. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
