Aspartate aminotransferase levels

MYH7B · rs11698868

What the study found

Who was studied 389,565 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 134,182 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 7.77 z-score higher; p = 8 × 10−15.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 19% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q11.22 — in an intron of MYH7B.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs11698868

What is rs11698868?

rs11698868 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MYH7B gene. Published research associates it with aspartate 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 rs11698868 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 rs11698868 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2021, PMID:33547301. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
