What the study found

Who was studied 31,908 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0901 lower (95% confidence interval 0.065-0.115); p = 1 × 10−12.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 91% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q21.1 — in an intron of FBN1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs689304

What is rs689304?

rs689304 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FBN1 gene. Published research associates it with ascending aorta maximum area. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs689304 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 rs689304 come from?

GWAS Catalog, EBioMedicine 2022, PMID:34968759. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
