EPS15 · rs7538988

Where this position leads

Condition: Cardiac Conduction Intervals (PR Interval and QRS Duration)

What the study found

Who was studied 92,340 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 2.1 ms lower (95% confidence interval 1.37-2.83); p = 1 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 3% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p32.3 — between genes, 2.4 kb from EPS15.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of PR interval compared to the general population.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with PR interval.

T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of PR interval — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs7538988

What is rs7538988?

rs7538988 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EPS15 gene. Published research associates it with pr interval. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs7538988 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Cardiac Conduction Intervals (PR Interval and QRS Duration). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs7538988 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 rs7538988 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2018, PMID:30046033. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
