What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of C-reactive protein compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Inflammation 2011, PMID:21647738)
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with C-reactive protein. (GWAS Catalog, Inflammation 2011, PMID:21647738)
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of C-reactive protein — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Inflammation 2011, PMID:21647738)

Questions about rs876537

What is rs876537?

rs876537 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CRP gene. Published research associates it with c-reactive protein. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs876537 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to C-Reactive Protein Levels. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

What do people read about alongside rs876537?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include short-sightedness and screens (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs876537 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 rs876537 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Inflammation 2011, PMID:21647738. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
