Fibulin-5 (analyte X15585.304) levels

FBLN5 · rs8015218

What the study found

Who was studied 2,721 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.178 lower (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.23); p = 2 × 10−13.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 47% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q32.12 — in an intron of FBLN5.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Fibulin-5 (analyte X15585.304) levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Fibulin-5 (analyte X15585.304) levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Fibulin-5 (analyte X15585.304) levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs8015218

What is rs8015218?

rs8015218 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FBLN5 gene. Published research associates it with fibulin-5 (analyte x15585.304) levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs8015218 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 rs8015218 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:39528825. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
