near UGT1A8 · rs149247216

What the study found

Who was studied 2,361 European ancestry cases, 28,384 European ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 7 × 10−14.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q37.1 — between genes, 3.7 kb from UGT1A8.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Neonatal jaundice (paternal effect). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Neonatal jaundice (paternal effect). That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Neonatal jaundice (paternal effect). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs149247216

What is rs149247216?

rs149247216 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near UGT1A8 gene. Published research associates it with neonatal jaundice (paternal effect). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs149247216 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 rs149247216 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:39214992. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
