Endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 levels

CAST · rs56039602

What the study found

Who was studied 10,708 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.433 lower (95% confidence interval 0.38-0.48); p = 1 × 10−61.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 93% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q15 — inside CAST.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 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 Endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs56039602

What is rs56039602?

rs56039602 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CAST gene. Published research associates it with endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs56039602 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 rs56039602 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2021, PMID:34648354. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
