Large artery stroke (MTAG)

FLT1 · rs1924981

What the study found

Who was studied 6,399 European ancestry cases, 1,234,808 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.05 times the odds of Large artery stroke (MTAG) (95% confidence interval 1.03-1.07); p = 2 × 10−8.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 33% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q12.3 — in an intron of FLT1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs1924981

What is rs1924981?

rs1924981 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FLT1 gene. Published research associates it with large artery stroke (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1924981 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 rs1924981 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2022, PMID:36180795. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
