What the study found

Who was studied 31,908 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.061 lower (95% confidence interval 0.045-0.077); p = 8 × 10−14.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 73% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q23.2 — in the 3′ untranslated region of PRDM6.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Ascending aorta maximum area. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Ascending aorta maximum area. That is a smaller link than two copies.

Questions about rs17469907

What is rs17469907?

rs17469907 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PRDM6 gene. Published research associates it with ascending aorta maximum area. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17469907 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 rs17469907 come from?

GWAS Catalog, EBioMedicine 2022, PMID:34968759. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
