Gamma-glutamylphenylalanine levels

PAH · rs1718292

What the study found

Who was studied 6,136 Finnish ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.15 lower; p = 2 × 10−15.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q23.2 — in an intron of PAH.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs1718292

What is rs1718292?

rs1718292 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PAH gene. Published research associates it with gamma-glutamylphenylalanine levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1718292 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 rs1718292 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35347128. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
