Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 181,522 European ancestry, unknown cases, 984,168 European ancestry, unknown controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.03 times the odds of Coronary artery disease (95% confidence interval 1.024-1.047); p = 8 × 10⁻¹⁰.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 30% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p22 — between genes, 1.7 kb from NAT2.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Coronary artery disease. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Coronary artery disease. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Coronary artery disease. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs4646249

What is rs4646249?

rs4646249 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near NAT2 gene. Published research associates it with coronary artery disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs4646249 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Coronary Artery Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs4646249 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 rs4646249 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2022, PMID:36474045. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
