Metabolite levels (N-acetylglucosaminylasparagine)

UNC93A · rs12662820

What the study found

Who was studied 5,713 European, Hispanic or African American individuals; replicated in up to 2,466 African American individuals, up to 15,619 European ancestry individuals, 1,734 Hispanic ancestry children.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.17 higher (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.21); p = 5 × 10−15.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 24% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q27 — in an intron of UNC93A.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12662820

What is rs12662820?

rs12662820 is a single position in the genome, in or near the UNC93A gene. Published research associates it with metabolite levels (n-acetylglucosaminylasparagine). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12662820 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 rs12662820 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2023, PMID:37253714. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
