SPARC-related modular calcium-binding protein 1 levels

SMOC1 · rs227439

What the study found

Who was studied 2,917 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.168 lower (95% confidence interval 0.12-0.22); p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 58% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q24.2 — in an intron of SMOC1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to SPARC-related modular calcium-binding protein 1 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to SPARC-related modular calcium-binding protein 1 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to SPARC-related modular calcium-binding protein 1 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs227439

What is rs227439?

rs227439 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SMOC1 gene. Published research associates it with sparc-related modular calcium-binding protein 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 rs227439 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 rs227439 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2021, PMID:34857772. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
