Proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase receptor Ret levels

RET · rs2505535

What the study found

Who was studied 997 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 338 Greater Middle Eastern (Middle Eastern, North African or Persian), South Asian ancestry, Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.431 lower (95% confidence interval 0.34-0.52); p = 3 × 10−19.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q11.21 — in an intron of RET.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase receptor Ret 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 Proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase receptor Ret levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase receptor Ret levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2505535

What is rs2505535?

rs2505535 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RET gene. Published research associates it with proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase receptor ret levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2505535 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 rs2505535 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2017, PMID:28240269. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
