Alanine aminotransferase levels

SMCO4 · rs11601368

What the study found

Who was studied 342,387 European ancestry individuals, 6,017 African ancestry individuals, 7,325 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0214 lower (95% confidence interval 0.015-0.027); p = 1 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q21 — in an intron of SMCO4.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs11601368

What is rs11601368?

rs11601368 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SMCO4 gene. Published research associates it with alanine aminotransferase levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11601368 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 rs11601368 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33462484. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
