Stands on its own.
Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the
research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What each result means
G/G
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Pericardial fat — no copies of the reported risk allele.
G/T
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Pericardial fat.
T/T
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Pericardial fat compared to the general population.

Questions about rs2434264
What is rs2434264?
rs2434264 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EBF1 gene. Published research associates it with pericardial fat. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs2434264 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 rs2434264 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2016, PMID:27918534. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
