Blood alliin levels

near RNU6-111P · rs17349049

What the study found

Who was studied 4,759 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.374 lower (95% confidence interval 0.26-0.49); p = 1 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 21% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p13.1 — between genes, 3.2 kb from RNU6-111P.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs17349049

What is rs17349049?

rs17349049 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RNU6-111P gene. Published research associates it with blood alliin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17349049 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 rs17349049 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genome biology 2026, PMID:42426908. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
