near LINC01892 · rs34238187

What the study found

Who was studied 2,383 European ancestry cases, 581 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 0.37 times the odds of Chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy in Chagas disease (95% confidence interval 0.2549-0.5229); p = 4 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18p11.31 — between genes, 29 kb from LINC01892.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs34238187

What is rs34238187?

rs34238187 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC01892 gene. Published research associates it with chronic chagas cardiomyopathy in chagas disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs34238187 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 rs34238187 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS neglected tropical diseases 2022, PMID:36215317. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
