Condition: Medication Use as a Genetic Trait
What the study found
Who was studied 28,880 European ancestry cases, 147,565 European ancestry controls.
The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0695 lower (95% confidence interval 0.05-0.089); p = 5 × 10−12.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 29% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q13.2 — between genes, 1.1 kb from RANGAP1.
rs139496 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RANGAP1 gene. Published research associates it with medication use (adrenergics, inhalants). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Medication Use as a Genetic Trait. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
