Cerebrospinal fluid protein HCG22 levels

HCG22 · rs2256436

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 2,524 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 1.03 higher (95% confidence interval 0.99-1.07).

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 42% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — in an intron of HCG22.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid protein HCG22 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid protein HCG22 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid protein HCG22 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs2256436

What is rs2256436?

rs2256436 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HCG22 gene. Published research associates it with cerebrospinal fluid protein hcg22 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2256436 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 rs2256436 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science translational medicine 2026, PMID:42054495. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
