Questions about rs2463481

What is rs2463481?

rs2463481 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC00972 gene. Published research associates it with ascending aorta diameter. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2463481 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 rs2463481 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2022, PMID:35637384. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
