Pericardial fat (model 2)

PID1 · rs17676147

What the study found

Who was studied 18,774 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0183 higher (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.025); p = 2 × 10−8.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 8% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q36.3 — in an intron of PID1.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Pericardial fat (model 2). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Pericardial fat (model 2). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Pericardial fat (model 2). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs17676147

What is rs17676147?

rs17676147 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PID1 gene. Published research associates it with pericardial fat (model 2). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17676147 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 rs17676147 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of the American Heart Association 2023, PMID:37889180. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
