What the study found

Who was studied 1,782 Admix African and African American ancestry cases, 9,356 Admix African and African American ancestry controls, 11,350 East Asian ancestry cases, 137,515 East Asian ancestry controls, 166,322 European ancestry cases, 1,313,950 European ancestry controls, 1,774 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 7,665 Hispanic or Latin American controls, 218 South Asian ancestry cases, 413 South Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.07 times the odds of Atrial fibrillation (95% confidence interval 1.05-1.08); p = 2 × 10−17.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 88% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p13.3 — in an intron of YWHAE.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs74776107

What is rs74776107?

rs74776107 is a single position in the genome, in or near the YWHAE gene. Published research associates it with atrial fibrillation. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs74776107 linked to?

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

Does having rs74776107 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 rs74776107 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:40050429. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
