Postprandial citrate

SLC13A5 · rs218671

What the study found

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.155 mmol/l higher (95% confidence interval 0.11-0.2); p = 1 × 10−11.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 43% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p13.1 — in an intron of SLC13A5.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs218671

What is rs218671?

rs218671 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC13A5 gene. Published research associates it with postprandial citrate. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs218671 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 rs218671 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Diabetes 2021, PMID:34610981. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
