Serum levels of protein DSG2

DSG2 · rs2704052

What the study found

Who was studied 5,368 Icelandic ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.155 lower (95% confidence interval 0.12-0.19); p = 5 × 10−17.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 45% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q12.1 — in an intron of DSG2.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Serum levels of protein DSG2. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Serum levels of protein DSG2. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Serum levels of protein DSG2. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs2704052

What is rs2704052?

rs2704052 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DSG2 gene. Published research associates it with serum levels of protein dsg2. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2704052 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 rs2704052 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35078996. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
