Liver enzyme levels (gamma-glutamyl transferase)

DNAJC16 · rs17415991

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 A allele shifted the measure 0.0108 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0075-0.0142); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 98% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p36.21 — in an intron of DNAJC16.

What each result means

A/A 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.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Liver enzyme levels (gamma-glutamyl transferase). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G 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.

Questions about rs17415991

What is rs17415991?

rs17415991 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DNAJC16 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 rs17415991 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 rs17415991 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.
