Cerebrospinal fluid protein MSTN levels

C2orf88 · rs72909350

What the study found

Who was studied 2,524 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.18 lower (95% confidence interval 0.12-0.24); p = 4 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 8% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q32.2 — inside C2orf88.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs72909350

What is rs72909350?

rs72909350 is a single position in the genome, in or near the C2orf88 gene. Published research associates it with cerebrospinal fluid protein mstn levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs72909350 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 rs72909350 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science translational medicine 2026, PMID:42054495. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
