Soluble ICAM-1

ICAM1 · rs117960796

What the study found

Who was studied 5,284 Finnish ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 1.67 lower; p = 8 × 10−40.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19p13.2 — in an intron of ICAM1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Soluble ICAM-1. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Soluble ICAM-1. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Soluble ICAM-1. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs117960796

What is rs117960796?

rs117960796 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ICAM1 gene. Published research associates it with soluble icam-1. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs117960796 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 rs117960796 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of medical genetics 2019, PMID:31217265. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
