Skin autofluorescence

MMP27 · rs2846707

What the study found

Who was studied 27,254 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.011 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0071-0.0149); p = 3 × 10−14.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 35% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q22.2 — a missense change in MMP27.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2846707

What is rs2846707?

rs2846707 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MMP27 gene. Published research associates it with skin autofluorescence. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2846707 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 rs2846707 come from?

GWAS Catalog, BMC genomics 2022, PMID:36536295. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
