Matrix metalloproteinase-8 levels

S100A9 · rs1560833

What the study found

Who was studied 6,049 Finnish ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.16 lower (95% confidence interval 0.12-0.2); p = 5 × 10−13.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 28% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q21.3 — between genes, 1 kb from S100A9.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Matrix metalloproteinase-8 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Matrix metalloproteinase-8 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Matrix metalloproteinase-8 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs1560833

What is rs1560833?

rs1560833 is a single position in the genome, in or near the S100A9 gene. Published research associates it with matrix metalloproteinase-8 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1560833 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 rs1560833 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Circ Cardiovasc Genet 2017, PMID:29212897. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
