Who was studied 55,795 European ancestry male cases, 1,470,806 European ancestry male controls, 55,795 African ancestry male cases, 1,470,806 African ancestry male controls, 55,795 Hispanic or Latin American male cases, 1,470,806 Hispanic or Latin American male controls, 55,795 East Asian ancestry male cases, 1,470,806 East Asian ancestry male controls, 55,795 South Asian ancestry male cases, 1,470,806 South Asian ancestry male controls.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele carried 1.05 times the odds of Aortic stenosis (95% confidence interval 1.03-1.06); p = 9 × 10−10.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 80% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q21.3 — between genes, 6.7 kb from LINC01023.
What each result means
C/CPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Aortic stenosis compared to the general population.
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Aortic stenosis.
T/TPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Aortic stenosis — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs17161463
What is rs17161463?
rs17161463 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC01023 gene. Published research associates it with aortic stenosis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs17161463 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Aortic Stenosis. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs17161463 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 rs17161463 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2026, PMID:41419686. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
