Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (MTAG)

near ZNF572 · rs28455756

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 19,495 European ancestry cases, 258,943 European ancestry controls (MTAG boosted by heart function-related trait samples).

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0163 lower (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.022); p = 3 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 28% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q24.13 — in an intron of LINC00964.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (MTAG) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (MTAG).

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (MTAG) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs28455756

What is rs28455756?

rs28455756 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ZNF572 gene. Published research associates it with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs28455756 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 rs28455756 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 rs28455756 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:41184235. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
