MTHFD1L · rs6922269

What the study found

Who was studied 1,926 European ancestry cases, 2,938 European ancestry controls; replicated in 875 European ancestry cases, 1,644 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.23 times the odds of Coronary heart disease (95% confidence interval 1.15-1.33); p = 3 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 25% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q25.1 — in an intron of MTHFD1L.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs6922269

What is rs6922269?

rs6922269 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MTHFD1L gene. Published research associates it with coronary heart disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6922269 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 rs6922269 come from?

GWAS Catalog, The New England journal of medicine 2007, PMID:17634449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
