Who was studied 47,745 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0725 higher (95% confidence interval 0.05-0.095); p = 8 × 10−12.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 7% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q22 — in an intron of EPX.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to MPO protein levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/GOne copy of the version the research linked to MPO protein levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GTwo copies of the version the research linked to MPO protein levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs34212868
What is rs34212868?
rs34212868 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EPX gene. Published research associates it with mpo protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs34212868 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Celiac Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs34212868 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 rs34212868 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
