Sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin 6 levels

SIGLEC6 · rs2005199

What the study found

Who was studied 2,935 Qatari ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 1.23 higher (95% confidence interval 1.13-1.32); p = 2 × 10−143.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 8% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.41 — a missense change in SIGLEC6.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin 6 levels. 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 Sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin 6 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin 6 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2005199

What is rs2005199?

rs2005199 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SIGLEC6 gene. Published research associates it with sialic acid-binding ig-like lectin 6 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2005199 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 rs2005199 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2023, PMID:36168886. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
