near RN7SKP155 · rs6470156

What the study found

Who was studied 33,907 European or unknown ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0468 higher (95% confidence interval 0.033-0.06); p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 72% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q24.13 — between genes, 21 kb from RN7SKP155.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Descending aorta distensibility. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Descending aorta distensibility. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Descending aorta distensibility. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs6470156

What is rs6470156?

rs6470156 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RN7SKP155 gene. Published research associates it with descending aorta distensibility. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6470156 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 rs6470156 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of the American College of Cardiology 2023, PMID:37019578. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
