TRAIL levels

near PA2G4P3 · rs188740444

What the study found

Who was studied 8,186 Finnish ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.49 SD units lower (95% confidence interval 0.35-0.63); p = 3 × 10−12.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q12.1 — between genes, 93 kb from PA2G4P3.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to TRAIL levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to TRAIL levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to TRAIL levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs188740444

What is rs188740444?

rs188740444 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PA2G4P3 gene. Published research associates it with trail levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs188740444 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 rs188740444 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2017, PMID:27989323. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
