COVID-19 (critical illness vs population)

SCN7A · rs7422259

What the study found

Who was studied 437 Chinese ancestry cases, 2,551 Chinese ancestry controls; replicated in 195 Chinese ancestry cases, 470 Chinese ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 4 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 11% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q24.3 — inside SCN7A.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to COVID-19 (critical illness vs population). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to COVID-19 (critical illness vs population). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to COVID-19 (critical illness vs population). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs7422259

What is rs7422259?

rs7422259 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SCN7A gene. Published research associates it with covid-19 (critical illness vs population). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7422259 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 rs7422259 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Signal transduction and targeted therapy 2022, PMID:35368020. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
