What the study found

Who was studied 575,531 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.019 higher (95% confidence interval 0.015-0.023); p = 3 × 10−21.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p12.1 — in the 5′ untranslated region of IL4R.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12927172

What is rs12927172?

rs12927172 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IL4R gene. Published research associates it with c-reactive protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs12927172 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to C-Reactive Protein Levels. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs12927172 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 rs12927172 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35459240. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
