Serum levels of protein ABO

ABO · rs79343853

What the study found

Who was studied 5,368 Icelandic ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.877 higher (95% confidence interval 0.8-0.95); p = 2 × 10−126.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 7% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q34.2 — in an intron of ABO.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs79343853

What is rs79343853?

rs79343853 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ABO gene. Published research associates it with serum levels of protein abo. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs79343853 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 rs79343853 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35078996. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
