KRT18P35 · rs73222243

What the study found

Who was studied 291,107 British ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0149 higher (95% confidence interval 0.01-0.02); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 28% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q22.3 — between genes, 9 kb from RPL31P23.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs73222243

What is rs73222243?

rs73222243 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KRT18P35 gene. Published research associates it with triglyceride levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs73222243 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 rs73222243 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Metabolic syndrome and related disorders 2020, PMID:31928498. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
