Serum levels of protein CTSH

CTSH · rs8034542

What the study found

Who was studied 5,340 Icelandic ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.198 lower (95% confidence interval 0.14-0.26); p = 1 × 10−11.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 10% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q25.1 — in an intron of CTSH.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs8034542

What is rs8034542?

rs8034542 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CTSH gene. Published research associates it with serum levels of protein ctsh. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs8034542 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 rs8034542 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.
