Serum levels of protein LILRB5

near LILRB5 · rs6509859

What the study found

Who was studied 5,368 Icelandic ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.667 lower (95% confidence interval 0.63-0.71); p = 1 × 10−247.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 26% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.42 — between genes, 1.2 kb from LILRB5.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Serum levels of protein LILRB5. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Serum levels of protein LILRB5. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Serum levels of protein LILRB5. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs6509859

What is rs6509859?

rs6509859 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LILRB5 gene. Published research associates it with serum levels of protein lilrb5. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6509859 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 rs6509859 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35078996. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
