Immunoglobulin N-glycan 22 levels

ST6GAL1 · rs16848727

What the study found

Who was studied 2,020 Korculan or Shetland Isles (founder/genetic isolate) individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.263 higher (95% confidence interval 0.19-0.34); p = 3 × 10−12.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 76% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q27.3 — in an intron of ST6GAL1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Immunoglobulin N-glycan 22 levels. 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 Immunoglobulin N-glycan 22 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Immunoglobulin N-glycan 22 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs16848727

What is rs16848727?

rs16848727 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ST6GAL1 gene. Published research associates it with immunoglobulin n-glycan 22 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs16848727 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 rs16848727 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35332118. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
