Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 69,877 European ancestry cases, 2,308,355 European ancestry controls, 69,877 African ancestry cases, 2,308,355 African ancestry controls, 69,877 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 2,308,355 Hispanic or Latin American controls, 69,877 East Asian ancestry cases, 2,308,355 East Asian ancestry controls, 69,877 South Asian ancestry cases, 2,308,355 South Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.03 times the odds of Aortic stenosis (95% confidence interval 1.02-1.04); p = 6 × 10⁻¹¹.

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

Where it sits Chromosome X, band Xp22.11 — between genes, 2.3 kb from PHEX.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Aortic stenosis. 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 Aortic stenosis. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Aortic stenosis. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs178707

What is rs178707?

rs178707 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PHEX 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 rs178707 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 rs178707 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 rs178707 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.
