Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 45,352 European ancestry cases, 1,938,877 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0273 higher (95% confidence interval 0.019-0.035); p = 7 × 10⁻¹¹.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 68% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p14.1 — between genes, 168.9 kb from LINC01448.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Aortic stenosis — no copies of the reported risk allele.

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

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

Questions about rs7802179

What is rs7802179?

rs7802179 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near GLI3 gene. Published research associates it with aortic stenosis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs7802179 linked to?

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

Does having rs7802179 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 rs7802179 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2026, PMID:41419685. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
