FLJ44385 · rs17000918

What the study found

Who was studied Up to 512 European ancestry individuals, up to 199 African American individuals.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 4 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q13.33 — in an intron of MIR3667HG.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Immune reponse to smallpox (secreted IL-1beta). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Immune reponse to smallpox (secreted IL-1beta). That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Immune reponse to smallpox (secreted IL-1beta). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs17000918

What is rs17000918?

rs17000918 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FLJ44385 gene. Published research associates it with immune reponse to smallpox (secreted il-1beta). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17000918 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 rs17000918 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Genet 2012, PMID:22610502. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
