Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MTAG)

NLRC5 · rs1651663

What the study found

Who was studied 122,644 European ancestry individuals (MTAG effective sample size boosted by proton density fat fraction samples).

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.028 lower (95% confidence interval 0.019-0.037); p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 71% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q13 — in an intron of NLRC5.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MTAG). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MTAG). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MTAG). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs1651663

What is rs1651663?

rs1651663 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NLRC5 gene. Published research associates it with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1651663 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 rs1651663 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science advances 2026, PMID:41686896. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
