Bilirubin levels

ATG16L1 · rs2119503

What the study found

Who was studied 33,598 Korean ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.053 higher (95% confidence interval 0.045-0.061); p = 5 × 10−37.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q37.1 — in an intron of ATG16L1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2119503

What is rs2119503?

rs2119503 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ATG16L1 gene. Published research associates it with bilirubin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2119503 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 rs2119503 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Epidemiology and health 2019, PMID:31319653. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
