near RPL7P40 · rs184017033

What the study found

Who was studied 449 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 119,944 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 1,761 European ancestry cases, 444,971 European ancestry controls, 272 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 58,807 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 3.93 lower (95% confidence interval 3.92-3.94); p = 1 × 10−12.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12p12.3 — between genes, 120 kb from RPL7P40.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Infestation (lice, mites) (PheCode 132) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Infestation (lice, mites) (PheCode 132).
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Infestation (lice, mites) (PheCode 132) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs184017033

What is rs184017033?

rs184017033 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RPL7P40 gene. Published research associates it with infestation (lice, mites) (phecode 132). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs184017033 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 rs184017033 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.
