Descending aorta distensibility

MASP1 · rs79957887

What the study found

Who was studied 29,895 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.07 higher; p = 1 × 10−9.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 92% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q27.3 — in an intron of MASP1.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Descending aorta distensibility. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Descending aorta distensibility. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Descending aorta distensibility. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs79957887

What is rs79957887?

rs79957887 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MASP1 gene. Published research associates it with descending aorta distensibility. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs79957887 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 rs79957887 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35922433. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
