NSG2 · rs577897177

What the study found

Who was studied 426 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 120,593 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 927 European ancestry cases, 448,404 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 1.95 lower (95% confidence interval 1.89-2.02); p = 3 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q35.2 — inside NSG2.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Cachexia (PheCode 260.1). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Cachexia (PheCode 260.1). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Cachexia (PheCode 260.1). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs577897177

What is rs577897177?

rs577897177 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NSG2 gene. Published research associates it with cachexia (phecode 260.1). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs577897177 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 rs577897177 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
