ICAM1 · rs1799969
Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 4,570 European ancestry female individuals; replicated in 2,008 European ancestry female individuals.
The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 28.2 umol/L lower; p = 4 × 10−47.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 12% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19p13.2 — a missense change in ICAM1.
What ClinVar records

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 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 people read about alongside this
Papers in Europe PMC whose title or abstract names both this rsID and that subject. A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together — it is not a claim that this position explains the subject.
rs1799969 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ICAM1 gene. Published research associates it with soluble icam-1. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include heart and circulation (3 papers), blood sugar and insulin (1 papers), exercise and muscle (1 papers), gut and food intolerance (1 papers), fertility (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.
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.
