Strength of the evidence

3 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−62, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 47,745 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.119 higher (95% confidence interval 0.1-0.14); p = 3 × 10−62.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 10% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p25.3 — in an intron of GMDS.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs34826710

What is rs34826710?

rs34826710 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GMDS gene. Published research associates it with gal protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs34826710 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Celiac Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs34826710 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 rs34826710 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
