Where this position leads

Condition: Fibrinogen and Blood Clotting

What the study found

Who was studied 91,323 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 8,423 African American individuals, 1,447 Hispanic individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.007 lower (95% confidence interval 0.005-0.009); p = 4 × 10⁻⁹.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 36% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q12.2 — a missense change in MS4A6A.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Fibrinogen. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Fibrinogen. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Fibrinogen. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs1019670

What is rs1019670?

rs1019670 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MS4A6A gene. Published research associates it with fibrinogen. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1019670 linked to?

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

Does having rs1019670 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 rs1019670 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Circulation 2013, PMID:23969696. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
