What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Prevalent atrial fibrillation — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2017, PMID:28416818)
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Prevalent atrial fibrillation. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2017, PMID:28416818)
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Prevalent atrial fibrillation compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2017, PMID:28416818)

Questions about rs1454934

What is rs1454934?

rs1454934 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PKP2 gene. Published research associates it with prevalent atrial fibrillation. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1454934 linked to?

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

Does having rs1454934 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 rs1454934 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2017, PMID:28416818. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
