Left ventricular end systole inferoseptal wall thickness

PRDM16 · rs79548216

What the study found

Who was studied 41,984 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.1 lower (95% confidence interval 0.08-0.12); p = 2 × 10−16.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p36.32 — in an intron of PRDM16.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Left ventricular end systole inferoseptal wall thickness. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Left ventricular end systole inferoseptal wall thickness. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Left ventricular end systole inferoseptal wall thickness. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs79548216

What is rs79548216?

rs79548216 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PRDM16 gene. Published research associates it with left ventricular end systole inferoseptal wall thickness. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs79548216 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 rs79548216 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2023, PMID:38036550. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
