MRAS · rs2306374

What the study found

Who was studied 22,233 European ancestry cases, 64,762 European ancestry controls; replicated in 56,682 European ancestry cases and controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.12 times the odds of Coronary heart disease (95% confidence interval 1.07-1.16); p = 3 × 10−8.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 18% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q22.3 — in an intron of MRAS.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Coronary heart disease. 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 Coronary heart disease. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Coronary heart disease. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2306374

What is rs2306374?

rs2306374 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MRAS gene. Published research associates it with coronary heart disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2306374 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 rs2306374 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2011, PMID:21378990. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
