Coronary artery calcification

CDKN2B-AS1 · rs62555371

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 28,655 European ancestry individuals, 8,065 African American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.27 higher (95% confidence interval 0.21-0.33); p = 5 × 10⁻¹⁷.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 87% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9p21.3 — in an intron of CDKN2B-AS1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Coronary artery calcification. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Coronary artery calcification. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Coronary artery calcification. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs62555371

What is rs62555371?

rs62555371 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CDKN2B-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with coronary artery calcification. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62555371 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 rs62555371 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2023, PMID:37770635. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
