What the study found

Who was studied 2,332 Erasmus Rucphen Family (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 24,462 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 391 Carlantino (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 981 Friuli Venezia Giulia (founder/genetic isolate) individuals, 31,225 European ancestry individuals, 2,048 African American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 1.18 lower (95% confidence interval 0.81-1.54); p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 46% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q24.3 — between genes, 282.5 kb from CALM2P1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4793397

What is rs4793397?

rs4793397 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KCNJ2 gene. Published research associates it with qt interval. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs4793397 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to QT Interval and Drug-Induced Long QT. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs4793397 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 rs4793397 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.
