Gamma glutamyl transferase levels

near LINC01991 · rs1818599

What the study found

Who was studied 875,069 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0036 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0026-0.0046); p = 1 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q27.3 — between genes, 33.2 kb from LINC01991.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs1818599

What is rs1818599?

rs1818599 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC01991 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 having rs1818599 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 rs1818599 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:38632349. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
