Electrocardiographic traits

MYH6 · rs365990

What the study found

Who was studied Up to 12,670 European ancestry individuals; replicated in Up to 10,352 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 5.25 % s.d. higher (95% confidence interval 3.66-6.83); p = 9 × 10−11.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 34% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q11.2 — a missense change in MYH6.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign for Cardiovascular phenotype, Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 14; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 14 submitters), last evaluated 2026-02-04. ClinVar record 44480 NM_002471.4(MYH6):c.3302T>C (p.Val1101Ala)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs365990

What is rs365990?

rs365990 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MYH6 gene. Published research associates it with electrocardiographic traits. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What do people read about alongside rs365990?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include heart and circulation (3 papers), anxiety and worry (2 papers), bones and fractures (2 papers), depression and stress (2 papers), longevity and ageing (2 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs365990 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 rs365990 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2010, PMID:20062063. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
