Liver enzyme levels (gamma-glutamyl transferase)

KDF1 · rs17360994

What the study found

Who was studied 437,194 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 315,572 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.00733 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0055-0.0092); p = 2 × 10−16.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 92% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p36.11 — a missense change in KDF1.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 2 submitters), last evaluated 2026-01-27. ClinVar record 1570987 NM_152365.3(KDF1):c.299A>G (p.Gln100Arg)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs17360994

What is rs17360994?

rs17360994 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KDF1 gene. Published research associates it with liver enzyme levels (gamma-glutamyl transferase). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17360994 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 rs17360994 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2021, PMID:33972514. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
