Chitotriosidase-1 levels

near CHIT1 · rs12141375

What the study found

Who was studied 997 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 338 Greater Middle Eastern (Middle Eastern, North African or Persian), South Asian ancestry, Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.99 lower (95% confidence interval 0.91-1.07); p = 9 × 10−108.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q32.1 — between genes, 0.6 kb from CHIT1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Chitotriosidase-1 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Chitotriosidase-1 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Chitotriosidase-1 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12141375

What is rs12141375?

rs12141375 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CHIT1 gene. Published research associates it with chitotriosidase-1 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12141375 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 rs12141375 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2017, PMID:28240269. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
