near PLRG1 · rs28365897

What the study found

Who was studied 4,435 East Asian ancestry individuals, 11,340 South Asian ancestry individuals, 120,241 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0575 lower (95% confidence interval 0.048-0.067); p = 5 × 10−29.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 81% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q31.3 — between genes, 0.4 kb from PLRG1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs28365897

What is rs28365897?

rs28365897 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PLRG1 gene. Published research associates it with phenylalanine levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs28365897 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 rs28365897 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2024, PMID:38448586. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
