Serum total protein levels

near GALK1 · rs4641805

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 314,921 European ancestry individuals, 133,321 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0199 lower (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.026); p = 2 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q25.1 — between genes, 3.2 kb from GALK1.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Serum total protein levels compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Serum total protein levels.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Serum total protein levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs4641805

What is rs4641805?

rs4641805 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near GALK1 gene. Published research associates it with serum total protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4641805 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 rs4641805 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
