Gamma glutamyl transferase levels

SPECC1L · rs118133842

What the study found

Who was studied 342,339 European ancestry individuals, 6,015 African ancestry individuals, 7,336 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.111 higher (95% confidence interval 0.094-0.128); p = 1 × 10−38.

Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q11.23 — in an intron of SPECC1L.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Gamma glutamyl transferase levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Gamma glutamyl transferase levels.
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Gamma glutamyl transferase levels compared to the general population.

Questions about rs118133842

What is rs118133842?

rs118133842 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SPECC1L gene. Published research associates it with gamma glutamyl transferase levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs118133842 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 rs118133842 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.
