What the study found

Who was studied 418,642 British ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.037 higher (95% confidence interval 0.024-0.05); p = 1 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 97% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q22.1 — between genes, 0.6 kb from MICU1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs59316512

What is rs59316512?

rs59316512 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MICU1 gene. Published research associates it with c-reactive protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs59316512 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 rs59316512 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 rs59316512 come from?

GWAS Catalog, European journal of epidemiology 2020, PMID:31900758. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
