Serum total protein levels

near PPT2 · rs204999

What the study found

Who was studied Up to 25,539 European ancestry individuals, 10,168 Japanese ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0266 higher (95% confidence interval 0.019-0.034); p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 74% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.32 — between genes, 4.4 kb from PPT2.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Serum total protein 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 Serum total protein levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Serum total protein levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs204999

What is rs204999?

rs204999 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PPT2 gene. Published research associates it with serum total protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What do people read about alongside rs204999?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include infection and immunity (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs204999 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 rs204999 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2012, PMID:23022100. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
