Procalcitonin levels (adjusted for BMI)

PRDM15 · rs7277773

What the study found

Who was studied 12,448 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.018 lower (95% confidence interval -0.027--0.037); p = 4 × 10−8.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 30% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 21, band 21q22.3 — in an intron of PRDM15.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Procalcitonin levels (adjusted for BMI) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Procalcitonin levels (adjusted for BMI).
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Procalcitonin levels (adjusted for BMI) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs7277773

What is rs7277773?

rs7277773 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PRDM15 gene. Published research associates it with procalcitonin levels (adjusted for bmi). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7277773 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 rs7277773 come from?

GWAS Catalog, EBioMedicine 2026, PMID:41406505. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
