Who was studied 2,637 European ancestry cases, 7,927 European ancestry controls.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.11 mmol/l lower; p = 2 × 10−10.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 81% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q22.1 — a synonymous change in EDC4.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Metabolic syndrome. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Metabolic syndrome. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Metabolic syndrome. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
rs8060686 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EDC4 gene. Published research associates it with metabolic syndrome. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs8060686 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Metabolic Syndrome. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs8060686 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 rs8060686 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Circulation. Cardiovascular genetics 2012, PMID:22399527. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
