Alpha-hydroxyisovalerate levels

HAO2 · rs144039098

What the study found

Who was studied 8,208 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.399 higher (95% confidence interval 0.3-0.49); p = 2 × 10−16.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p12 — in an intron of HAO2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs144039098

What is rs144039098?

rs144039098 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HAO2 gene. Published research associates it with alpha-hydroxyisovalerate levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs144039098 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 rs144039098 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2023, PMID:36635386. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
