near SPACA6-AS1 · rs1868940

What the study found

Who was studied 313,387 European ancestry individuals, 5,576 African ancestry individuals, 6,696 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0229 higher (95% confidence interval 0.017-0.029); p = 1 × 10−12.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.41 — between genes, 0.8 kb from SPACA6-AS1.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Calcium levels compared to the general population.
A/C Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Calcium levels.
C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Calcium levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs1868940

What is rs1868940?

rs1868940 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near SPACA6-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with calcium levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1868940 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 rs1868940 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33462484. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
