Genetic variant
rs377675100 a variant in the SEC24C gene
rs377675100 is a single-letter difference in the SEC24C gene, on chromosome 10. ClinVar, the public archive of variant interpretations, lists it as conflicting interpretations: laboratories that have assessed it do not agree on whether it matters. Carrying it does not, on its own, mean you have or will develop any condition.
What is this?
Your DNA is a long sequence of four letters. At a few million positions, people commonly differ by a single letter; each of those positions is called a SNP (“snip”), and rs377675100 is the catalogue number of one of them, in the SEC24C gene. Which letters you carry there — one copy from each parent — is your genotype.
SEC24C (SEC24 homolog C, COPII component): The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the SEC24 subfamily of the SEC23/SEC24 family, which is involved in vesicle trafficking. The encoded protein has similarity to yeast Sec24p component of COPII. COPII is the coat protein complex responsible for vesicle budding from the ER. The product of this gene may play a role in shaping the vesicle, as well as in cargo selection and concentration.

Why might it matter?
ClinVar records this variant as conflicting interpretations, meaning laboratories that have assessed it do not agree on whether it matters. A classification describes the variant, not you: what it means for one person depends on their genotype, their family history and often on other genes and circumstances.
Do I have this variant?
If you have taken a consumer DNA test (23andMe, AncestryDNA and similar), you can download its raw data file and check. Create a free account, upload the file, and this page will show the letters you carry at rs377675100, if your test read this position.
Connect this with your blood results
A gene is a fixed instruction; a blood test shows what your body is doing now. CheckMyBloods reads the two side by side, so a variant can be set against the markers it could plausibly affect.
Blood markers do not diagnose a genetic condition, and a variant does not explain a blood result on its own. Together, with symptoms and family history, they give a clinician context.
What should I do next?
- Find out whether you carry it. Reading about a variant says nothing about you until you know your genotype.
- Put it in context. Add your blood results, so the variant can be read against what your body is doing.
- Ask questions. Dr. Hemsworth, our AI assistant, can explain this variant and your results in plain English.
- Take anything that worries you to a professional. A GP or genetic counsellor can order a confirmatory test and interpret it with your history.
