ARHGEF26-AS1 · rs6787361

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 80,823 European ancestry cases, 2,383,572 European ancestry controls, 3,126 African ancestry cases, 141,024 African ancestry controls, 1,403 Hispanic cases, 65,041 Hispanic controls, 1,403 East Asian ancestry cases, 130,260 East Asian ancestry controls, 109 South Asian ancestry cases, 43,841 South Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.06 times the odds of Aortic stenosis (95% confidence interval 1.05-1.07); p = 3 × 10⁻¹⁹.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 22% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q25.2 — in an intron of ARHGEF26-AS1.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Aortic stenosis — no copies of the reported risk allele.

A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Aortic stenosis.

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

Questions about rs6787361

What is rs6787361?

rs6787361 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ARHGEF26-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with aortic stenosis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6787361 linked to?

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

Does having rs6787361 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 rs6787361 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2026, PMID:41419686. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
