What the study found

Who was studied 2,619 whole genome sequenced European ancestry individuals, up to 38,213 European ancestry individuals, 1,442 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.05 nmol/L lower (95% confidence interval 0.03-0.07); p = 6 × 10−9.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 79% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q21.1 — in an intron of LOC105370459.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2277458

What is rs2277458?

rs2277458 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GEMIN2 gene. Published research associates it with vitamin d levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2277458 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Vitamin D Deficiency and the GC Gene. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs2277458 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 rs2277458 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2017, PMID:28757204. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
