RR interval (heart rate)

MYH6 · rs432256

What the study found

Who was studied 2,006 Erasmus Rucphen Family (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 26,692 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 8.12 lower (95% confidence interval 5.68-10.56); p = 7 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 25% 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 RR interval (heart rate). 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 RR interval (heart rate). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to RR interval (heart rate). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs432256

What is rs432256?

rs432256 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MYH6 gene. Published research associates it with rr interval (heart rate). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs432256 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 rs432256 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Eur J Hum Genet 2019, PMID:30679814. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
