Who was studied 80,823 European ancestry cases, 2,383,572 European ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the G allele carried 1.04 times the odds of Aortic stenosis (95% confidence interval 1.02-1.05); p = 2 × 10−9.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 35% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q25.3 — a missense change in RNF213.

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-05 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.
What each result means
A/APublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Aortic stenosis — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Aortic stenosis.
G/GPublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Aortic stenosis compared to the general population.

Questions about rs9674961
What is rs9674961?
rs9674961 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RNF213 gene. Published research associates it with aortic stenosis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs9674961 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Aortic Stenosis. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs9674961 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 rs9674961 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2026, PMID:41419686. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
