IL16 protein levels

IL16 · rs4778890

What the study found

Who was studied 497 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.891 lower (95% confidence interval 0.69-1.09); p = 5 × 10−17.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q25.1 — in an intron of IL16.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to IL16 protein levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to IL16 protein levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to IL16 protein levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs4778890

What is rs4778890?

rs4778890 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IL16 gene. Published research associates it with il16 protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4778890 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 rs4778890 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Scientific reports 2024, PMID:38565889. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
