What the study found

Who was studied 296,989 European ancestry individuals, 80,764 African American individuals, 31,877 Hispanic American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 5.78 z score lower; p = 7 × 10−9.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q31.33 — in an intron of POT1-AS1.

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Alcohol Use Disorder. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs144228648 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 rs144228648 come from?
