Phenylalanine levels

NUP37 · rs116868345

What the study found

Who was studied 115,030 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.197 lower (95% confidence interval 0.14-0.25); p = 4 × 10−13.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 99% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q23.2 — in an intron of NUP37.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs116868345

What is rs116868345?

rs116868345 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NUP37 gene. Published research associates it with phenylalanine levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs116868345 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 rs116868345 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS biology 2022, PMID:35213538. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
