FCGR2B · rs72704050

What the study found

Who was studied 15,536 Icelandic ancestry individuals; replicated in 2,158 Swedish ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.15 SD units lower; p = 2 × 10−42.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 50% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q23.3 — in an intron of FCGR3B.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs72704050

What is rs72704050?

rs72704050 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FCGR2B gene. Published research associates it with igg levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs72704050 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 rs72704050 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2017, PMID:28628107. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
