What the study found

Who was studied 575,531 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0155 lower (95% confidence interval 0.01-0.021); p = 5 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q23.2 — between genes, 4.8 kb from LINC02240.

What each result means

C/C 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.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to C-reactive protein levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to C-reactive protein levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6595549

What is rs6595549?

rs6595549 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC02240 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 rs6595549 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 rs6595549 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 rs6595549 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35459240. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
