Who was studied 60,343 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 0.0636 lower (95% confidence interval 0.058-0.069); p = 6 × 10−101.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 38% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q33.2 — between genes, 13.2 kb from HAND1.
What each result means
C/CPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of QRS duration — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/TPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with QRS duration.
T/TPublished 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 rs62379942
What is rs62379942?
rs62379942 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HAND1 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 rs62379942 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 rs62379942 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 rs62379942 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.
