Polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 16 levels

ERH · rs34859711

What the study found

Who was studied 10,708 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.27 higher (95% confidence interval 0.23-0.31); p = 4 × 10−38.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 89% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q24.1 — in an intron of ERH.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 16 levels compared to the general population.
A/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 16 levels.
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 16 levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs34859711

What is rs34859711?

rs34859711 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ERH gene. Published research associates it with polypeptide n-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 16 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs34859711 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 rs34859711 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2021, PMID:34648354. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
