Glycine levels

GCSH · rs11860711

What the study found

Who was studied 30,118 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.124 higher (95% confidence interval 0.1-0.14); p = 4 × 10−31.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 80% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q23.2 — between genes, 2 kb from PKD1L2.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Glycine 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 Glycine levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Glycine levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs11860711

What is rs11860711?

rs11860711 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GCSH gene. Published research associates it with glycine levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11860711 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 rs11860711 come from?

GWAS Catalog, J Am Heart Assoc 2019, PMID:31070104. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
