Where this position leads
Condition: C-Reactive Protein Levels
What the study found
Who was studied 394,642 European ancestry individuals.
The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0199 higher (95% confidence interval 0.016-0.024); p = 7 × 10−21.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 52% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p31.3 — in an intron of DNAJC6.

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.
rs2296478 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DNAJC6 gene. Published research associates it with c-reactive protein levels (ukb data field 30710). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
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.
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.
