Glutathione S-transferase A2 levels

GSTA2 · rs2608632

What the study found

Who was studied 2,549 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.182 higher (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.24); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 31% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p12.2 — in an intron of GSTA2.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Glutathione S-transferase A2 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Glutathione S-transferase A2 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Glutathione S-transferase A2 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs2608632

What is rs2608632?

rs2608632 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GSTA2 gene. Published research associates it with glutathione s-transferase a2 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2608632 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 rs2608632 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:39528825. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
