Chronic elevation of alanine aminotransferase (cALT) levels

GPT · rs201082887

What the study found

Who was studied 23,977 African American cases, 13,387 African American controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.403 lower (95% confidence interval 0.34-0.46); p = 2 × 10−40.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 9% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q24.3 — in the 3′ untranslated region of GPT.

What each result means

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Chronic elevation of alanine aminotransferase (cALT) levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Chronic elevation of alanine aminotransferase (cALT) levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Chronic elevation of alanine aminotransferase (cALT) levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs201082887

What is rs201082887?

rs201082887 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GPT gene. Published research associates it with chronic elevation of alanine aminotransferase (calt) levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs201082887 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 rs201082887 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2022, PMID:35654975. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
