Ascending aorta maximum area

FGGY · rs835431

What the study found

Who was studied 32,590 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 8.21 lower; p = 1 × 10−9.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 74% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p32.1 — in an intron of FGGY.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs835431

What is rs835431?

rs835431 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FGGY gene. Published research associates it with ascending aorta maximum area. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs835431 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 rs835431 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.
