Serum levels of protein GP6

GP6 · rs12609736

What the study found

Who was studied 5,361 Icelandic ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.819 lower (95% confidence interval 0.77-0.86); p = 5 × 10−280.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 17% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.42 — in an intron of GP6.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Serum levels of protein GP6. 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 Serum levels of protein GP6. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Serum levels of protein GP6. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12609736

What is rs12609736?

rs12609736 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GP6 gene. Published research associates it with serum levels of protein gp6. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12609736 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 rs12609736 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35078996. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
