Fibrinogen levels

FGB · rs150768229

Where this position leads

Condition: Fibrinogen and Blood Clotting

What the study found

Who was studied 120,246 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0458 lower; p = 6 × 10⁻¹².

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q31.3 — in an intron of FGB.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Fibrinogen levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Fibrinogen levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Fibrinogen levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs150768229

What is rs150768229?

rs150768229 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FGB gene. Published research associates it with fibrinogen 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 rs150768229 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Fibrinogen and Blood Clotting. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs150768229 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 rs150768229 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2015, PMID:26561523. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
