Angiopoietin-1 receptor levels

near RNU6-283P · rs2922996

What the study found

Who was studied 21,758 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 9,173 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.189 lower; p = 2 × 10−101.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 46% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — between genes, 0.7 kb from RNU6-283P.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Angiopoietin-1 receptor levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Angiopoietin-1 receptor levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Angiopoietin-1 receptor levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2922996

What is rs2922996?

rs2922996 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RNU6-283P gene. Published research associates it with angiopoietin-1 receptor levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2922996 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 rs2922996 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature metabolism 2020, PMID:33067605. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
