ATP2B2 · rs56284847

What the study found

Who was studied 6,259 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 4,483 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.517 higher (95% confidence interval 0.43-0.6); p = 4 × 10−33.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p25.3 — in an intron of ATP2B2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs56284847

What is rs56284847?

rs56284847 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ATP2B2 gene. Published research associates it with ghrelin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs56284847 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 rs56284847 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cancer epidemiology, biomarkers & prevention : a publication of the American Association for Cancer Research, cosponsored by the American Society of Preventive Oncology 2023, PMID:37791980. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
