What the study found

Who was studied 934 British ancestry cases, 408,027 British ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.44 higher (95% confidence interval 0.32-0.56); p = 1 × 10−12.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 19% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p21.1 — between genes, 3.4 kb from HDAC9.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Carotid artery stenosis. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Carotid artery stenosis. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Carotid artery stenosis. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs2526620

What is rs2526620?

rs2526620 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HDAC9 gene. Published research associates it with carotid artery stenosis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2526620 linked to?

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

Does having rs2526620 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 rs2526620 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genet Epidemiol 2020, PMID:32964493. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
