What the study found

Who was studied 394,642 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.254 lower (95% confidence interval 0.19-0.32); p = 8 × 10−16.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q23.2 — between genes, 4.8 kb from CRP.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to C-reactive protein levels (UKB data field 30710). 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 C-reactive protein levels (UKB data field 30710). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to C-reactive protein levels (UKB data field 30710). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs558721881

What is rs558721881?

rs558721881 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CRP gene. Published research associates it with c-reactive protein levels (ukb data field 30710). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs558721881 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to C-Reactive Protein Levels. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs558721881 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 rs558721881 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
