Small vessel stroke (MTAG)

NBEAL1 · rs72934589

What the study found

Who was studied 6,811 European ancestry cases, 1,234,808 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.19 times the odds of Small vessel stroke (MTAG) (95% confidence interval 1.14-1.24); p = 2 × 10−14.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 87% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q33.2 — in an intron of NBEAL1.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Small vessel stroke (MTAG). 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 Small vessel stroke (MTAG). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Small vessel stroke (MTAG). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs72934589

What is rs72934589?

rs72934589 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NBEAL1 gene. Published research associates it with small vessel stroke (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs72934589 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 rs72934589 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2022, PMID:36180795. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
