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 A allele carried 1.05 times the odds of Coronary artery disease (95% confidence interval 1.039-1.061); p = 1 × 10⁻¹⁹.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 70% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p13.3 — in an intron of SMG6.

What each result means

A/A 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.

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

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

Questions about rs4790881

What is rs4790881?

rs4790881 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SMG6 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 rs4790881 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 rs4790881 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 rs4790881 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.
