PPP3R1-AS1 · rs2120335

What the study found

Who was studied 3,382,012 European ancestry, East Asian ancestry, Hispanic or Latin American, African ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.00468 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0032-0.0062); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 43% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p14 — in an intron of PPP3R1-AS1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2120335

What is rs2120335?

rs2120335 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PPP3R1-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with smoking initiation. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2120335 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 rs2120335 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2022, PMID:36477530. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
