Where this position leads

Condition: Cardiac Conduction Intervals (PR Interval and QRS Duration)

What the study found

Who was studied 252,730 European ancestry, African ancestry, Hispanic or Latin American, South East Asian ancestry, South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0388 lower (95% confidence interval 0.031-0.046); p = 9 × 10⁻²⁴.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 82% in the people studied.

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

What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of QRS duration — no copies of the reported risk allele.

G/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with QRS duration.

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of QRS duration compared to the general population.

Questions about rs62253176

What is rs62253176?

rs62253176 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MITF gene. Published research associates it with qrs duration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs62253176 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Cardiac Conduction Intervals (PR Interval and QRS Duration). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs62253176 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 rs62253176 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:36050321. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
