What the study found

Who was studied 43,014 European ancestry individuals, 204 mixed ancestry individuals, 482 Asian ancestry individuals, 301 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 129 Chinese ancestry individuals, 12,430 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 8.72 z score lower; p = 3 × 10−18.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 24% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q33.3 — between genes, 83.8 kb from LINC02227.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Epicardial and pericardial adipose tissue. 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 Epicardial and pericardial adipose tissue. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Epicardial and pericardial adipose tissue. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs748510

What is rs748510?

rs748510 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC02227 gene. Published research associates it with epicardial and pericardial adipose tissue. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs748510 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 rs748510 come from?

GWAS Catalog, JAMA cardiology 2024, PMID:38477908. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
