Teratocarcinoma-derived growth factor 1 levels

LTF · rs2239692

What the study found

Who was studied 2,935 Qatari ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.283 lower (95% confidence interval 0.22-0.35); p = 5 × 10−17.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 19% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p21.31 — a synonymous change in LTF.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Teratocarcinoma-derived growth factor 1 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Teratocarcinoma-derived growth factor 1 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Teratocarcinoma-derived growth factor 1 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2239692

What is rs2239692?

rs2239692 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LTF gene. Published research associates it with teratocarcinoma-derived growth factor 1 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2239692 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 rs2239692 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.
