Complement factor H-related protein 5 levels (CFHR5.3666.17.4)

KCNT2 · rs72732234

What the study found

Who was studied 3,301 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 1.5 lower (95% confidence interval -1.32--1.68); p = 8 × 10−60.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q31.3 — in an intron of KCNT2.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Complement factor H-related protein 5 levels (CFHR5.3666.17.4). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Complement factor H-related protein 5 levels (CFHR5.3666.17.4). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Complement factor H-related protein 5 levels (CFHR5.3666.17.4). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs72732234

What is rs72732234?

rs72732234 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KCNT2 gene. Published research associates it with complement factor h-related protein 5 levels (cfhr5.3666.17.4). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs72732234 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 rs72732234 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2018, PMID:29875488. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
