What the study found

Who was studied 353,466 European ancestry individuals, 83,025 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0158 higher (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.021); p = 1 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p25.1 — between genes, 65.7 kb from RN7SL554P.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to C-reactive protein. 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 C-reactive protein. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to C-reactive protein. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4640929

What is rs4640929?

rs4640929 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RN7SL554P gene. Published research associates it with c-reactive protein. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs4640929 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to C-Reactive Protein Levels. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs4640929 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 rs4640929 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
