Serum levels of protein FGF7

FAM227B · rs1911612

What the study found

Who was studied 5,366 Icelandic ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.12 lower (95% confidence interval 0.081-0.159); p = 1 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 32% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q21.2 — in an intron of FAM227B.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Serum levels of protein FGF7. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Serum levels of protein FGF7. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Serum levels of protein FGF7. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs1911612

What is rs1911612?

rs1911612 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FAM227B gene. Published research associates it with serum levels of protein fgf7. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1911612 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 rs1911612 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35078996. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
