What the study found

Who was studied 159,571 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0259 higher (95% confidence interval 0.018-0.034); p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 25% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q22.1 — in an intron of THSD7B.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Salty food liking. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs13388416

What is rs13388416?

rs13388416 is a single position in the genome, in or near the THSD7B gene. Published research associates it with salty food liking. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs13388416 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 rs13388416 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35585065. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
