Growth differentiation factor-15 levels

PGPEP1 · rs888663

What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Growth differentiation factor-15 levels compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Clin Chem 2012, PMID:22997280)
G/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Growth differentiation factor-15 levels. (GWAS Catalog, Clin Chem 2012, PMID:22997280)
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Growth differentiation factor-15 levels — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Clin Chem 2012, PMID:22997280)

Questions about rs888663

What is rs888663?

rs888663 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PGPEP1 gene. Published research associates it with growth differentiation factor-15 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What do people read about alongside rs888663?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include kidneys (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs888663 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 rs888663 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Clin Chem 2012, PMID:22997280. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
