Endothelial growth factor levels

Tie-2 · rs2273720

What the study found

Who was studied up to 3,574 European ancestry individuals; replicated in up to 3,184 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.265 higher (95% confidence interval 0.23-0.30); p = 2 × 10−65.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 6% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9p21.2 — in an intron of TEK.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2273720

What is rs2273720?

rs2273720 is a single position in the genome, in or near the Tie-2 gene. Published research associates it with endothelial growth factor levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2273720 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 rs2273720 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Circulation. Cardiovascular genetics 2015, PMID:25552591. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
