Aspartate aminotransferase levels

near HSD17B13 · rs28456144

What the study found

Who was studied 288,127 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0351 lower (95% confidence interval 0.029-0.041); p = 3 × 10−31.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q22.1 — between genes, 0.4 kb from HSD17B13.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs28456144

What is rs28456144?

rs28456144 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HSD17B13 gene. Published research associates it with aspartate aminotransferase levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs28456144 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 rs28456144 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:36333282. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
