Betaine levels

DMGDH · rs16876394

What the study found

Who was studied 7,806 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.03 higher (95% confidence interval 0.024-0.036); p = 1 × 10−19.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 90% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q14.1 — in an intron of DMGDH.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Betaine levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Betaine levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Betaine levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs16876394

What is rs16876394?

rs16876394 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DMGDH gene. Published research associates it with betaine levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs16876394 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 rs16876394 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2014, PMID:24816252. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
