MIA2 · rs8018486
Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 434,646 British ancestry individuals, 8,796 British Central/South Asian individuals, 6,573 British African individuals.
The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.02 ratio higher (95% confidence interval 0.02-0.02); p = 2 × 10−10.
Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q21.1 — in an intron of MIA2.
rs8018486 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MIA2 gene. Published research associates it with polyunsaturated fatty acids to monounsaturated fatty acids ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
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.
