Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor levels

ST3GAL4 · rs9704688

What the study found

Who was studied 9,869 European ancestry individuals, 1,363 African American individuals, 623 Chinese American individuals, 1,082 Hispanic American individuals; replicated in 12,177 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.11 lower (95% confidence interval 0.071-0.149); p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 18% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q24.2 — in an intron of ST3GAL4.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs9704688

What is rs9704688?

rs9704688 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ST3GAL4 gene. Published research associates it with soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9704688 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 rs9704688 come from?

GWAS Catalog, The Journal of clinical investigation 2022, PMID:36194491. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
