Aortic root size

CFDP1 · rs17696696

What the study found

Who was studied 30,201 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 14,002 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.016 cm lower (95% confidence interval 0.01-0.022); p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 59% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q23.1 — in an intron of CFDP1.

What each result means

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Aortic root size. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Aortic root size. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Aortic root size. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs17696696

What is rs17696696?

rs17696696 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CFDP1 gene. Published research associates it with aortic root size. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17696696 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 rs17696696 come from?

GWAS Catalog, J Clin Invest 2017, PMID:28394258. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
