Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 8,292 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 105,982 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 3,259 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 53,474 Hispanic or Latin American controls, 255 East Asian ancestry cases, 6,351 East Asian ancestry controls, 33,269 European ancestry cases, 387,301 European ancestry controls.
The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0588 higher (95% confidence interval 0.042-0.076); p = 1 × 10−12.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 39% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q12 — between genes, 97.4 kb from RN7SL680P.
rs2143217 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RN7SL680P gene. Published research associates it with sebaceous cyst (phecode 706.2). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
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.
