Mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 levels

MAP2K4 · rs72819258

What the study found

Who was studied 10,708 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.128 lower (95% confidence interval 0.099-0.157); p = 4 × 10−18.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 75% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p12 — in an intron of MAP2K4.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs72819258

What is rs72819258?

rs72819258 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MAP2K4 gene. Published research associates it with mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs72819258 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 rs72819258 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2021, PMID:34648354. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
