Cross sectional area of aortic arch

near ELN · rs62465578

What the study found

Who was studied 35,492 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0466 higher (95% confidence interval 0.032-0.062); p = 9 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q11.23 — between genes, 10.4 kb from ELN.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Cross sectional area of aortic arch. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Cross sectional area of aortic arch. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Cross sectional area of aortic arch. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs62465578

What is rs62465578?

rs62465578 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ELN gene. Published research associates it with cross sectional area of aortic arch. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62465578 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 rs62465578 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Communications medicine 2026, PMID:41629584. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
