Notes

rs688034 has been reported in a large study to be associated with heart disease, in particular, coronary artery disease. The risk allele (oriented to the dbSNP entry) is (T); the odds ratio associated with heterozygotes is 1.11 (CI 0.98-1.25), and for homozygotes, 1.62 (CI 1.34-1.95).

T;T

1.6x higher risk for coronary artery disease
