Macrophage scavenger receptor types I and II levels

MSR1 · rs150158578

What the study found

Who was studied 2,893 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.392 lower (95% confidence interval 0.32-0.46); p = 2 × 10−27.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 10% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p22 — inside MSR1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Macrophage scavenger receptor types I and II levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Macrophage scavenger receptor types I and II levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Macrophage scavenger receptor types I and II levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs150158578

What is rs150158578?

rs150158578 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MSR1 gene. Published research associates it with macrophage scavenger receptor types i and ii levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs150158578 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 rs150158578 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2021, PMID:34857772. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
