Cystatin C levels

MMP26 · rs112902560

What the study found

Who was studied 9,354 African ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.25 mg/L higher (95% confidence interval 0.17-0.33); p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 5% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p15.4 — in an intron of MMP26.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Cystatin C levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Cystatin C levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Cystatin C levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs112902560

What is rs112902560?

rs112902560 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MMP26 gene. Published research associates it with cystatin c levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs112902560 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 rs112902560 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of human genetics 2022, PMID:34376796. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
