What the study found

Who was studied 1,570 European ancestry cases, at least 21,618 European ancestry controls; replicated in 2,328 European ancestry cases, 546 African American ancestry cases, 7655 African American ancestry controls, up to 35,233 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.20 times the odds of Incident myocardial infarction (95% confidence interval 1.13-1.28); p = 6 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q26 — between genes, 31.2 kb from QKI.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs6941513

What is rs6941513?

rs6941513 is a single position in the genome, in or near the QKI gene. Published research associates it with incident myocardial infarction. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6941513 linked to?

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

What do people read about alongside rs6941513?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include heart and circulation (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs6941513 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 rs6941513 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS One 2016, PMID:26950853. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
