Breakthrough COVID-19 susceptibility after at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine

ST6GAL1 · rs16861415

What the study found

Who was studied 74,662 European ancestry cases, 240,661 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 0.84 times the odds of Breakthrough COVID-19 susceptibility after at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine (95% confidence interval 0.82-0.86); p = 7 × 10−55.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 8% in the people studied.

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

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Breakthrough COVID-19 susceptibility after at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. 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 Breakthrough COVID-19 susceptibility after at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Breakthrough COVID-19 susceptibility after at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs16861415

What is rs16861415?

rs16861415 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ST6GAL1 gene. Published research associates it with breakthrough covid-19 susceptibility after at least one dose of a covid-19 vaccine. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs16861415 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 rs16861415 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:39384777. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
