Blood protein levels

HS6ST1 · rs7598684

What the study found

Who was studied 3,200 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.165 lower (95% confidence interval 0.12-0.21); p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 57% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q14.3 — in an intron of HS6ST1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Blood protein 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 Blood protein levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Blood protein levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs7598684

What is rs7598684?

rs7598684 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HS6ST1 gene. Published research associates it with blood 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 rs7598684 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 rs7598684 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2018, PMID:30072576. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
