Where this position leads

Condition: QT Interval and Drug-Induced Long QT

What the study found

Who was studied 252,730 European ancestry, African ancestry, Hispanic or Latin American, South East Asian ancestry, South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0382 higher (95% confidence interval 0.03-0.046); p = 2 × 10⁻¹⁹.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 87% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p14.1 — in the 3′ untranslated region of CDK13.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, single submitter (1 of 4 stars, 1 submitter), last evaluated 2021-06-18. ClinVar record 1266968 NM_003718.5(CDK13):c.*99A>G

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to QT interval. 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 QT interval. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to QT interval. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs17538328

What is rs17538328?

rs17538328 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CDK13 gene. Published research associates it with qt interval. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs17538328 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to QT Interval and Drug-Induced Long QT. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs17538328 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 rs17538328 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:36050321. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
