Lifetime smoking index

near RPL6P5 · rs2890772

What the study found

Who was studied 462,690 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.02 lower (95% confidence interval 0.016-0.024); p = 2 × 10−22.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 41% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q22.3 — between genes, 79.5 kb from RPL6P5.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2890772

What is rs2890772?

rs2890772 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RPL6P5 gene. Published research associates it with lifetime smoking index. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2890772 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 rs2890772 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Psychological medicine 2020, PMID:31689377. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
