Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 activity and mass — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Circ Cardiovasc Genet 2012, PMID:23118302)

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 activity and mass. (GWAS Catalog, Circ Cardiovasc Genet 2012, PMID:23118302)

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 activity and mass compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Circ Cardiovasc Genet 2012, PMID:23118302)

Questions about rs600550

What is rs600550?

rs600550 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MS4A4E gene. Published research associates it with lipoprotein-associated phospholipase a2 activity and mass. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs600550 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 rs600550 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Circ Cardiovasc Genet 2012, PMID:23118302. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
