ACE2 levels

MICAL3 · rs5992134

What the study found

Who was studied 28,204 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.067 lower (95% confidence interval 0.045-0.089); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 23% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q11.21 — in an intron of MICAL3.

What each result means

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to ACE2 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to ACE2 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to ACE2 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs5992134

What is rs5992134?

rs5992134 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MICAL3 gene. Published research associates it with ace2 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs5992134 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 rs5992134 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Circulation 2022, PMID:35387486. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
