Serum protein levels (sST2)

IL1RL1 · rs17639215

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Serum protein levels (sST2) compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, J Clin Invest 2013, PMID:23999434)
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Serum protein levels (sST2). (GWAS Catalog, J Clin Invest 2013, PMID:23999434)
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Serum protein levels (sST2) — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, J Clin Invest 2013, PMID:23999434)

Questions about rs17639215

What is rs17639215?

rs17639215 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IL1RL1 gene. Published research associates it with serum protein levels (sst2). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17639215 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 rs17639215 come from?

GWAS Catalog, J Clin Invest 2013, PMID:23999434. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
