COL4A1 · rs16975420

What the study found

Who was studied 73,039 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 37,339 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 3,873 East Asian ancestry individuals, 259,269 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0327 higher (95% confidence interval 0.024-0.042); p = 3 × 10−13.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 85% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q34 — in an intron of COL4A1.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to monocyte (absolute count, maximum, inv-norm transformed). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to monocyte (absolute count, maximum, inv-norm transformed). That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to monocyte (absolute count, maximum, inv-norm transformed). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs16975420

What is rs16975420?

rs16975420 is a single position in the genome, in or near the COL4A1 gene. Published research associates it with monocyte (absolute count, maximum, inv-norm transformed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs16975420 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 rs16975420 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
