Plasma kallikrein levels

KLKB1 · rs1511802

What the study found

Who was studied 997 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 338 Greater Middle Eastern (Middle Eastern, North African or Persian), South Asian ancestry, Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.475 higher (95% confidence interval 0.39-0.56); p = 9 × 10−29.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q35.2 — in an intron of KLKB1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs1511802

What is rs1511802?

rs1511802 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KLKB1 gene. Published research associates it with plasma kallikrein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1511802 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 rs1511802 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2017, PMID:28240269. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
