Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (childhood)

ANK2 · rs12500579

What the study found

Who was studied 5,131 European ancestry individuals, 1,155 Hispanic individuals, 2,572 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.42 lower (95% confidence interval 0.31-0.53); p = 5 × 10−13.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q25 — in an intron of ANK2.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (childhood). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (childhood). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (childhood). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs12500579

What is rs12500579?

rs12500579 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ANK2 gene. Published research associates it with fractional exhaled nitric oxide (childhood). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12500579 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 rs12500579 come from?

GWAS Catalog, J Allergy Clin Immunol 2013, PMID:24315451. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
