What the study found

Who was studied 575,531 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0178 higher (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.024); p = 1 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p14.2 — between genes, 43.5 kb from MARK2P13.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4720190

What is rs4720190?

rs4720190 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MARK2P13 gene. Published research associates it with c-reactive protein levels (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs4720190 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 rs4720190 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 rs4720190 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:36376304. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
