alpha-2-macroglobulin receptor-associated protein levels

near MICA · rs73402213

What the study found

Who was studied 2,893 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 2 higher (95% confidence interval 1.85-2.15); p = 2 × 10−154.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 3% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — between genes, 4.2 kb from MICA.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to alpha-2-macroglobulin receptor-associated protein levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to alpha-2-macroglobulin receptor-associated protein levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to alpha-2-macroglobulin receptor-associated protein levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs73402213

What is rs73402213?

rs73402213 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MICA gene. Published research associates it with alpha-2-macroglobulin receptor-associated protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs73402213 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 rs73402213 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2021, PMID:34857772. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
