Acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase, cytosolic levels

WTAP · rs2842972

What the study found

Who was studied 2,721 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.224 higher (95% confidence interval 0.17-0.28); p = 1 × 10−17.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q25.3 — in an intron of WTAP.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase, cytosolic levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase, cytosolic levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase, cytosolic levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2842972

What is rs2842972?

rs2842972 is a single position in the genome, in or near the WTAP gene. Published research associates it with acetyl-coa acetyltransferase, cytosolic levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2842972 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 rs2842972 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.
