Blood protein levels in cardiovascular risk

THBD · rs3176123

What the study found

Who was studied 3,394 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 2,639 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.3 lower; p = 6 × 10−46.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 81% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20p11.21 — in the 3′ untranslated region of THBD.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign for Atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome with thrombomodulin anomaly, Thrombomodulin-related bleeding disorder; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 3 submitters), last evaluated 2025-09-22. ClinVar record 337862 NM_000361.3(THBD):c.*1001A>C

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs3176123

What is rs3176123?

rs3176123 is a single position in the genome, in or near the THBD gene. Published research associates it with blood protein levels in cardiovascular risk. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs3176123 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 rs3176123 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS genetics 2017, PMID:28369058. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
