Urotensin-2 levels

SKIC2 · rs453821

What the study found

Who was studied 10,708 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.294 higher (95% confidence interval 0.25-0.33); p = 2 × 10−51.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 14% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — in an intron of SKIC2.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Urotensin-2 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Urotensin-2 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Urotensin-2 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs453821

What is rs453821?

rs453821 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SKIC2 gene. Published research associates it with urotensin-2 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs453821 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 rs453821 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2021, PMID:34648354. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
