What the study found

Who was studied 213 African American cases, 20,030 African American controls, 1,735 East Asian ancestry cases, 237,242 East Asian ancestry controls, 6,399 European ancestry cases, 1,234,808 European ancestry controls, 167 Hispanic cases, 4,146 Hispanic controls, 705 South Asian ancestry cases, 7,672 South Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.23 times the odds of Large artery stroke (95% confidence interval 1.14-1.33); p = 4 × 10−8.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 8% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q22.2 — between genes, 13.4 kb from MMP13.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs72985562

What is rs72985562?

rs72985562 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MMP13 gene. Published research associates it with large artery stroke. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs72985562 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 rs72985562 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.
