Cathepsin L1 levels

PLXDC2 · rs35049778

What the study found

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

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.06 higher; p = 9 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 28% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10p12.31 — in an intron of PLXDC2.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Cathepsin L1 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Cathepsin L1 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Cathepsin L1 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs35049778

What is rs35049778?

rs35049778 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PLXDC2 gene. Published research associates it with cathepsin l1 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs35049778 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 rs35049778 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.
