Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 42,081 European ancestry cases, 1,267,892 European ancestry controls, 1,611 African ancestry cases, 12,755 African ancestry controls, 226 South Asian ancestry cases, 27,163 South Asian ancestry controls, 94 Admixed American ancestry cases, 1,795 Admixed American ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0568 lower (95% confidence interval 0.038-0.076); p = 3 × 10⁻⁹.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 22% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q26.11 — a missense change in BAG3.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign/Likely benign for Cardiovascular phenotype, Dilated cardiomyopathy 1HH, Myofibrillar myopathy 6; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 18 submitters), last evaluated 2026-02-04. ClinVar record 44783 NM_004281.4(BAG3):c.451T>C (p.Cys151Arg)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-09-24 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Non-ischemic heart failure compared to the general population.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Non-ischemic heart failure.

T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Non-ischemic heart failure — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs2234962

What is rs2234962?

rs2234962 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BAG3 gene. Published research associates it with non-ischemic heart failure. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2234962 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Heart Failure. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs2234962 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 rs2234962 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:40038546. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
