Ascending aorta strain

near PRDM6 · rs337101

What the study found

Who was studied 38,499 European or unknown ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0463 higher (95% confidence interval 0.033-0.059); p = 2 × 10−12.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 72% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q23.2 — between genes, 20.7 kb from PRDM6.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Ascending aorta strain. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Ascending aorta strain. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Ascending aorta strain. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs337101

What is rs337101?

rs337101 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PRDM6 gene. Published research associates it with ascending aorta strain. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs337101 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 rs337101 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of the American College of Cardiology 2023, PMID:37019578. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
