Who was studied 80,823 European ancestry cases, 2,383,572 European ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele carried 1.10 times the odds of Aortic stenosis (95% confidence interval 1.07-1.14); p = 3 × 10−8.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 3% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q23.2 — between genes, 4.7 kb from OR10J6P.
What each result means
A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Aortic stenosis compared to the general population.
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Aortic stenosis.
G/GPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Aortic stenosis — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs71628140
What is rs71628140?
rs71628140 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near APCS 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 rs71628140 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 rs71628140 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 rs71628140 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.
