Interleukin-2 receptor antagonist levels

IL2RA · rs12722588

What the study found

Who was studied 3,677 Finnish ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.298 SD units higher; p = 9 × 10−20.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10p15.1 — in an intron of IL2RA.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Interleukin-2 receptor antagonist levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Interleukin-2 receptor antagonist levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Interleukin-2 receptor antagonist levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12722588

What is rs12722588?

rs12722588 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IL2RA gene. Published research associates it with interleukin-2 receptor antagonist levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12722588 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 rs12722588 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2017, PMID:27989323. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
