What the study found

Who was studied 276 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 121,333 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 769 European ancestry cases, 449,707 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 3.11 lower (95% confidence interval 3.09-3.14); p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q34.2 — in an intron of RXRA.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Acute pericarditis (PheCode 420.21) compared to the general population.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Acute pericarditis (PheCode 420.21).
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Acute pericarditis (PheCode 420.21) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs544749498

What is rs544749498?

rs544749498 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RXRA gene. Published research associates it with acute pericarditis (phecode 420.21). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs544749498 linked to?

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

Does having rs544749498 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 rs544749498 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
