What the study found

Who was studied up to 122,733 cases, up to 424,528 controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0383 lower (95% confidence interval 0.027-0.05); p = 1 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 35% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q13.1 — between genes, 12.2 kb from N4BP2L2.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Coronary artery disease compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Coronary artery disease.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Coronary artery disease — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs7998440

What is rs7998440?

rs7998440 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near N4BP2L2 gene. Published research associates it with coronary artery disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs7998440 linked to?

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

Does having rs7998440 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 rs7998440 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Circ Res 2017, PMID:29212778. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
