Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 12 levels

near TNFSF12 · rs62059801

What the study found

Who was studied 982 Scottish ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.351 higher (95% confidence interval 0.24-0.46); p = 1 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 25% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p13.1 — between genes, 2.2 kb from TNFSF12.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 12 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 12 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 12 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs62059801

What is rs62059801?

rs62059801 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TNFSF12 gene. Published research associates it with tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 12 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62059801 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 rs62059801 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genome medicine 2020, PMID:32641083. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
