Drinks usually with meals in current drinkers (yes vs no) (UKB data field 1618)

HEATR1 · rs2799423

What the study found

Who was studied 235,312 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.023 higher (95% confidence interval 0.016-0.03); p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 30% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q43 — in an intron of HEATR1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Drinks usually with meals in current drinkers (yes vs no) (UKB data field 1618). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Drinks usually with meals in current drinkers (yes vs no) (UKB data field 1618). That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Drinks usually with meals in current drinkers (yes vs no) (UKB data field 1618). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2799423

What is rs2799423?

rs2799423 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HEATR1 gene. Published research associates it with drinks usually with meals in current drinkers (yes vs no) (ukb data field 1618). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2799423 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 rs2799423 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2020, PMID:32193382. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
