near METAP2P1 · rs188256118

What the study found

Who was studied 271 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 121,238 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 584 European ancestry cases, 449,897 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 5.5 lower (95% confidence interval 5.5-5.51); p = 3 × 10−13.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q22.3 — between genes, 139.6 kb from METAP2P1.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Other specified benign mammary dysplasias (PheCode 610.8). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Other specified benign mammary dysplasias (PheCode 610.8). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Other specified benign mammary dysplasias (PheCode 610.8). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs188256118

What is rs188256118?

rs188256118 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near METAP2P1 gene. Published research associates it with other specified benign mammary dysplasias (phecode 610.8). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs188256118 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 rs188256118 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.
