Mitral valve prolapse

near TMEM40 · rs34871776

What the study found

Who was studied 4,884 European ancestry cases, 434,649 European ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 1 × 10−9.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 48% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p25.2 — between genes, 4.4 kb from TMEM40.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs34871776

What is rs34871776?

rs34871776 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TMEM40 gene. Published research associates it with mitral valve prolapse. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs34871776 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 rs34871776 come from?

GWAS Catalog, European heart journal 2022, PMID:35245370. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
