Creatine levels

AFG2B · rs2453544

What the study found

Who was studied 2,466 Black/admixed ancestry individuals; replicated in up to 1,653 European, Hispanic, Asian or Black individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.285 higher (95% confidence interval 0.23-0.34); p = 8 × 10−23.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q21.1 — in an intron of AFG2B.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2453544

What is rs2453544?

rs2453544 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AFG2B gene. Published research associates it with creatine levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2453544 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 rs2453544 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35995766. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
