Circulating myeloperoxidase levels (plasma)

MPO · rs12940923

What the study found

Who was studied 9,260 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.07 lower (95% confidence interval 0.050-0.090); p = 4 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 84% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q22 — between genes, 8.7 kb from TSPOAP1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Circulating myeloperoxidase levels (plasma). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Circulating myeloperoxidase levels (plasma). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Circulating myeloperoxidase levels (plasma). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12940923

What is rs12940923?

rs12940923 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MPO gene. Published research associates it with circulating myeloperoxidase levels (plasma). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12940923 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 rs12940923 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2013, PMID:23620142. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
