Interleukin-18 levels

BCO2 · rs4935984

What the study found

Who was studied 8,318 European ancestry individuals; replicated in (see Ahola-Olli 2017).

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.272 higher (95% confidence interval 0.26-0.28); p = 1 × 10−300.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q23.1 — in an intron of BCO2.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Interleukin-18 levels. 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 Interleukin-18 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Interleukin-18 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4935984

What is rs4935984?

rs4935984 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BCO2 gene. Published research associates it with interleukin-18 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4935984 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 rs4935984 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS genetics 2020, PMID:33227023. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
