CLEC6A protein levels

near CLEC4D · rs191028249

What the study found

Who was studied 47,745 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.263 higher (95% confidence interval 0.2-0.32); p = 3 × 10−20.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12p13.31 — between genes, 4.8 kb from CLEC4D.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of CLEC6A protein levels compared to the general population.
C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with CLEC6A protein levels.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of CLEC6A protein levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs191028249

What is rs191028249?

rs191028249 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CLEC4D gene. Published research associates it with clec6a protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs191028249 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 rs191028249 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
