What the study found

Who was studied 14,988 European ancestry individuals with no NVP, 14,292 European ancestry individuals with slight NVP, 17,786 European individuals with moderate NVP, 5,445 European ancestry individuals with severe NVP, 1,220 European ancestry individuals with very severe NVP.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.104 lower (95% confidence interval 0.089-0.12); p = 2 × 10−41.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 25% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19p13.11 — between genes, 0.7 kb from GDF15.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Severity of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. 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 Severity of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Severity of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

rs16982345 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GDF15 gene. Published research associates it with severity of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs16982345 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Nausea and Vomiting of Pregnancy (Hyperemesis Gravidarum). The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs16982345 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 rs16982345 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2018, PMID:29563502. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
