Matrilin-2 levels

MATN2 · rs2513851

What the study found

Who was studied 3,506 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.347 lower (95% confidence interval 0.25-0.44); p = 3 × 10−12.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 6% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q22.2 — in an intron of MATN2.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Matrilin-2 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Matrilin-2 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Matrilin-2 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs2513851

What is rs2513851?

rs2513851 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MATN2 gene. Published research associates it with matrilin-2 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2513851 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 rs2513851 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:39528825. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
