Serum levels of protein DEFA1

near DEFA11P · rs55851618

What the study found

Who was studied 5,367 Icelandic ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.157 higher (95% confidence interval 0.12-0.19); p = 5 × 10−16.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 41% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p23.1 — between genes, 1.1 kb from DEFA11P.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Serum levels of protein DEFA1. 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 Serum levels of protein DEFA1. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Serum levels of protein DEFA1. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs55851618

What is rs55851618?

rs55851618 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near DEFA11P gene. Published research associates it with serum levels of protein defa1. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs55851618 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 rs55851618 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35078996. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
