ACE-inhibitor discontinuation

near LINC00686 · rs6062847

What the study found

Who was studied 33,959 European ancestry cases who discontinued ACEi, 44,041 European ancestry controls who continued ACEi treatment.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.21 times the odds of ACE-inhibitor discontinuation (95% confidence interval 1.17-1.24); p = 2 × 10−34.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 14% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q13.33 — between genes, 4.1 kb from LINC00686.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs6062847

What is rs6062847?

rs6062847 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC00686 gene. Published research associates it with ace-inhibitor discontinuation. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6062847 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 rs6062847 come from?

GWAS Catalog, European heart journal 2022, PMID:35751511. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
