Who was studied 3,527 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 1,727 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size
; p = 5 × 10−23.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 32% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q23.1 — in an intron of ZFPM2.
What each result means
A/ANo copy of the version the research linked to Vascular endothelial growth factor levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Vascular endothelial growth factor levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Vascular endothelial growth factor levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
Papers in Europe PMC whose title or abstract names both this rsID and that subject. A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together — it is not a claim that this position explains the subject.
Questions about rs6993770
What is rs6993770?
rs6993770 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZFPM2 gene. Published research associates it with vascular endothelial growth factor 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 rs6993770 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Serum VEGF Levels. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
What do people read about alongside rs6993770?
Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include cholesterol and blood fats (1 papers), depression and stress (1 papers), brain and memory (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.
Does having rs6993770 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 rs6993770 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Circ Res 2011, PMID:21757650. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
