Who was studied 342,339 European ancestry individuals, 6,015 African ancestry individuals, 7,336 South Asian ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.017 higher (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.022); p = 1 × 10−9.
Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p11.2 — in a non-coding transcript of VKORC1.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Gamma glutamyl transferase levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Gamma glutamyl transferase levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Gamma glutamyl transferase levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs17708472
What is rs17708472?
rs17708472 is a single position in the genome, in or near the VKORC1 gene. Published research associates it with gamma glutamyl transferase levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does rs17708472 affect how medicines work?
VKORC1 carries pharmacogenomic findings for Warfarin. That is educational information, not a prescription or a dosing guide. Any decision to start, stop or change a medicine belongs with the clinician or pharmacist managing your treatment.
Does having rs17708472 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 rs17708472 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33462484. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
