SMAD5 protein levels (SomaScan ID:11104-13)

near CHI3L1 · rs903357

What the study found

Who was studied 199 Shetland Isles origin ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 1.14 lower (95% confidence interval 0.98-1.29); p = 1 × 10−37.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q32.1 — between genes, 0.4 kb from CHI3L1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to SMAD5 protein levels (SomaScan ID:11104-13). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to SMAD5 protein levels (SomaScan ID:11104-13). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to SMAD5 protein levels (SomaScan ID:11104-13). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs903357

What is rs903357?

rs903357 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CHI3L1 gene. Published research associates it with smad5 protein levels (somascan id:11104-13). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs903357 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 rs903357 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Communications biology 2025, PMID:40883583. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
