Matrix metalloproteinase levels

MMP · rs495366

What the study found

Who was studied 778 Old Order Amish individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.44 lower; p = 6 × 10−34.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 36% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q22.2 — in an intron of WTAPP1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs495366

What is rs495366?

rs495366 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MMP gene. Published research associates it with matrix metalloproteinase levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs495366 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 rs495366 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Circ Cardiovasc Genet 2009, PMID:20031604. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
