A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of C-reactive protein levels or triglyceride levels (pleiotropy) compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, BMC Genomics 2016, PMID:27286809)
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with C-reactive protein levels or triglyceride levels (pleiotropy). (GWAS Catalog, BMC Genomics 2016, PMID:27286809)
G/GPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of C-reactive protein levels or triglyceride levels (pleiotropy) — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, BMC Genomics 2016, PMID:27286809)
rs2277844 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PLA2G6 gene. Published research associates it with c-reactive protein levels or triglyceride levels (pleiotropy). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs2277844 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to C-Reactive Protein Levels. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs2277844 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 rs2277844 come from?
GWAS Catalog, BMC Genomics 2016, PMID:27286809. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
