Who was studied 60,620 European ancestry cases, 970,216 European ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele carried 1.11 times the odds of Atrial fibrillation (95% confidence interval 1.10-1.13); p = 1 × 10−35.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 18% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q31.2 — in an intron of WNT8A.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Atrial fibrillation. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Atrial fibrillation. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Atrial fibrillation. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
Papers in Europe PMC whose title or abstract names both this rsID and that subject. A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together — it is not a claim that this position explains the subject.
Questions about rs2040862
What is rs2040862?
rs2040862 is a single position in the genome, in or near the WNT8A gene. Published research associates it with atrial fibrillation. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs2040862 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Atrial Fibrillation. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
What do people read about alongside rs2040862?
Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include heart and circulation (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.
Does having rs2040862 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 rs2040862 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2018, PMID:30061737. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
