Serum total protein levels

IL6R-AS1 · rs117525971

What the study found

Who was studied 133,321 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.158 lower (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.18); p = 6 × 10−39.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 3% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q21.3 — in an intron of IL6R-AS1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs117525971

What is rs117525971?

rs117525971 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IL6R-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with serum total 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 rs117525971 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 rs117525971 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
