Metabolite levels (androsterone sulfate)

near UGT2B15 · rs4443356

What the study found

Who was studied 8,941 European, Hispanic or African American individuals; replicated in up to 2,466 African American individuals, up to 15,619 European ancestry individuals, 1,734 Hispanic ancestry children.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.156 higher (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.19); p = 4 × 10−23.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 44% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q13.2 — between genes, 19.9 kb from UGT2B15.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4443356

What is rs4443356?

rs4443356 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near UGT2B15 gene. Published research associates it with metabolite levels (androsterone sulfate). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4443356 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 rs4443356 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2023, PMID:37253714. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
