Household income (MTAG)

LRP1B · rs62166490

What the study found

Who was studied 505,541 British and unknown ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.029 lower (95% confidence interval 0.021-0.037); p = 2 × 10−12.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 7% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q22.2 — in an intron of LRP1B.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs62166490

What is rs62166490?

rs62166490 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LRP1B gene. Published research associates it with household income (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62166490 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 rs62166490 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2019, PMID:31844048. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
