TBC1D2B · rs4886992

What the study found

Who was studied 98,316 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.00804 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0055-0.0106); p = 5 × 10−10.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 21% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q25.1 — in an intron of TBC1D2B.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4886992

What is rs4886992?

rs4886992 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TBC1D2B gene. Published research associates it with albumin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4886992 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 rs4886992 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Ophthalmology science 2024, PMID:39091897. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
