Where this position leads

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

What the study found

Who was studied 212,199 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0381 higher (95% confidence interval 0.03-0.046); p = 2 × 10⁻²⁰.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 18% in the people studied.

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

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of QRS duration — 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 QRS duration.

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

Questions about rs79375047

What is rs79375047?

rs79375047 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MITF gene. Published research associates it with qrs duration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs79375047 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 rs79375047 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 rs79375047 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:36050321. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
