Neonatal jaundice (maternal effect)

near M6PRP1 · rs5942980

What the study found

Who was studied 2,401 European ancestry cases, 29,182 European ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 4 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 36% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome X, band Xq23 — between genes, 39.8 kb from M6PRP1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs5942980

What is rs5942980?

rs5942980 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near M6PRP1 gene. Published research associates it with neonatal jaundice (maternal effect). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs5942980 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 rs5942980 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:39214992. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
