Global electrical heterogeneity phenotypes

ACTB · rs2098226

What the study found

Who was studied 3,057 Black individuals, 10,769 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.07 higher (95% confidence interval 0.045-0.095); p = 8 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 74% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p22.1 — inside ACTB.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2098226

What is rs2098226?

rs2098226 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ACTB gene. Published research associates it with global electrical heterogeneity phenotypes. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2098226 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 rs2098226 come from?

GWAS Catalog, J Am Heart Assoc 2018, PMID:29622589. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
