What the study found

Who was studied 418,642 British ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0193 higher (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.024); p = 2 × 10−14.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 80% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q36.1 — in an intron of GIMAP6.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs62491814

What is rs62491814?

rs62491814 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GIMAP6 gene. Published research associates it with c-reactive protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs62491814 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to C-Reactive Protein Levels. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs62491814 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 rs62491814 come from?

GWAS Catalog, European journal of epidemiology 2020, PMID:31900758. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
