Cerebrospinal fluid protein PON2 levels

PON2 · rs17876123

What the study found

Who was studied 2,524 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 1.2 lower (95% confidence interval 1.16-1.23).

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 20% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q21.3 — in an intron of PON2.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 2 submitters), last evaluated 2021-06-19. ClinVar record 1282053 NM_000305.3(PON2):c.201+247G>T

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid protein PON2 levels. 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 Cerebrospinal fluid protein PON2 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid protein PON2 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs17876123

What is rs17876123?

rs17876123 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PON2 gene. Published research associates it with cerebrospinal fluid protein pon2 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17876123 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 rs17876123 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science translational medicine 2026, PMID:42054495. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
