Lumbar disc herniation requiring surgery

near MYL6P5 · rs7225015

What the study found

Who was studied 7,347 Finnish ancestry cases, 270,964 Finnish ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 0.89 times the odds of Lumbar disc herniation requiring surgery (95% confidence interval 0.86-0.93); p = 9 × 10−10.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 31% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q24.3 — between genes, 106.6 kb from MYL6P5.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Lumbar disc herniation requiring surgery. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Lumbar disc herniation requiring surgery. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Lumbar disc herniation requiring surgery. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs7225015

What is rs7225015?

rs7225015 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MYL6P5 gene. Published research associates it with lumbar disc herniation requiring surgery. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7225015 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 rs7225015 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:39511132. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
