Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 16,251 Japanese ancestry cases, 197,577 Japanese ancestry controls; replicated in 95,524 European ancestry cases, 1,270,968 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.069 higher (95% confidence interval 0.044-0.094); p = 4 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 34% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q22.1 — in an intron of DPY19L4.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Heart failure — no copies of the reported risk allele.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Heart failure.

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

Questions about rs6471480

What is rs6471480?

rs6471480 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DPY19L4 gene. Published research associates it with heart failure. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6471480 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Heart Failure Progression. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs6471480 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 rs6471480 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:41184235. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
