Blood protein levels in cardiovascular risk

NPPB · rs549596

What the study found

Who was studied 3,394 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 2,639 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.19 lower; p = 2 × 10−14.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 59% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p36.22 — between genes, 1.4 kb from NPPB.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs549596

What is rs549596?

rs549596 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NPPB gene. Published research associates it with blood protein levels in cardiovascular risk. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs549596 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 rs549596 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS genetics 2017, PMID:28369058. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
