near LINC00533 · rs116738289

What the study found

Who was studied 2,935 Qatari ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.504 higher (95% confidence interval 0.36-0.65); p = 1 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 4% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.1 — between genes, 0 kb from LINC00533.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Complement C4 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Complement C4 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Complement C4 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs116738289

What is rs116738289?

rs116738289 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC00533 gene. Published research associates it with complement c4 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs116738289 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 rs116738289 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2023, PMID:36168886. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
