Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 47,822 European ancestry cases, 918,195 European ancestry controls, 6,320 African ancestry cases, 118,144 African ancestry controls, 1,188 Hispanic cases, 45,634 Hispanic controls; replicated in 87,594 European ancestry cases, 1,588 African ancestry cases, 1,075 Hispanic cases, 273 South Asian ancestry cases, 700 East Asian ancestry cases, 3,322,939 controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0302 higher (95% confidence interval 0.02-0.04); p = 5 × 10⁻⁹.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q26.2 — in an intron of MECOM-AS1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Venous thromboembolism. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Venous thromboembolism. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Venous thromboembolism. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs7613621

What is rs7613621?

rs7613621 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MECOM gene. Published research associates it with venous thromboembolism. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs7613621 linked to?

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

Does having rs7613621 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 rs7613621 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Circulation 2022, PMID:36154123. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
