Ascending aorta minimum area

near ELN · rs6974735

What the study found

Who was studied 35,110 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.126 lower (95% confidence interval 0.11-0.14); p = 3 × 10−80.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 55% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q11.23 — between genes, 13.9 kb from ELN.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Ascending aorta minimum area. 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 Ascending aorta minimum area. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Ascending aorta minimum area. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6974735

What is rs6974735?

rs6974735 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ELN gene. Published research associates it with ascending aorta minimum area. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6974735 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 rs6974735 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.
