What the study found

Who was studied 414,343 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.238 lower (95% confidence interval 0.18-0.29); p = 2 × 10−16.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q23 — between genes, 5 kb from METAP1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Alcohol consumption (drinks per week). 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 Alcohol consumption (drinks per week). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Alcohol consumption (drinks per week). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs192822960

What is rs192822960?

rs192822960 is a single position in the genome, in or near the METAP1 gene. Published research associates it with alcohol consumption (drinks per week). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs192822960 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Alcohol Consumption. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs192822960 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 rs192822960 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2019, PMID:30643258. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
