What the study found

Who was studied 65,000 individuals (C-reactive protein), 100,184 individuals (total cholesterol).

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 3 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p22.3 — in an intron of C7orf50.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs6951245

What is rs6951245?

rs6951245 is a single position in the genome, in or near the C7orf50 gene. Published research associates it with c-reactive protein levels or total cholesterol levels (pleiotropy). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs6951245 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 rs6951245 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 rs6951245 come from?

GWAS Catalog, BMC Genomics 2016, PMID:27286809. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
