Cystatin C levels

near MTCO1P17 · rs78203474

What the study found

Who was studied 342,399 European ancestry individuals, 6,015 African ancestry individuals, 7,338 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0324 higher (95% confidence interval 0.023-0.042); p = 2 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q33.2 — between genes, 21.2 kb from MTCO1P17.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs78203474

What is rs78203474?

rs78203474 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MTCO1P17 gene. Published research associates it with cystatin c levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs78203474 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 rs78203474 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33462484. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
