MGMT protein levels

MGMT · rs138193175

What the study found

Who was studied 47,745 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.594 lower (95% confidence interval 0.5-0.69); p = 3 × 10−38.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q26.3 — in an intron of MGMT.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of MGMT protein levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with MGMT protein levels.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of MGMT protein levels compared to the general population.

Questions about rs138193175

What is rs138193175?

rs138193175 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MGMT gene. Published research associates it with mgmt protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs138193175 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 rs138193175 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
