Left atrial stroke volume

MYH6 · rs376439

What the study found

Who was studied 35,049 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.045 higher (95% confidence interval 0.031-0.059); p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 61% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q11.2 — in an intron of MYH6.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs376439

What is rs376439?

rs376439 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MYH6 gene. Published research associates it with left atrial stroke volume. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs376439 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 rs376439 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:38773065. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
