Blood protein levels

NEGR1 · rs2220253

What the study found

Who was studied 3,200 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.148 higher (95% confidence interval 0.1-0.2); p = 1 × 10−9.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 55% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p31.1 — in an intron of NEGR1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2220253

What is rs2220253?

rs2220253 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NEGR1 gene. Published research associates it with blood protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2220253 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 rs2220253 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2018, PMID:30072576. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
