Tumor necrosis factor-inducible gene 6 protein levels

TNFAIP6 · rs1046668

What the study found

Who was studied 997 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 338 Greater Middle Eastern (Middle Eastern, North African or Persian), South Asian ancestry, Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.402 lower (95% confidence interval 0.29-0.52); p = 2 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q23.3 — a missense change in TNFAIP6.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Tumor necrosis factor-inducible gene 6 protein levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Tumor necrosis factor-inducible gene 6 protein levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Tumor necrosis factor-inducible gene 6 protein levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs1046668

What is rs1046668?

rs1046668 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TNFAIP6 gene. Published research associates it with tumor necrosis factor-inducible gene 6 protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1046668 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 rs1046668 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2017, PMID:28240269. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
