Serum albumin levels

near NAT2 · rs4646248

What the study found

Who was studied 313,032 European ancestry individuals, 5,573 African ancestry individuals, 6,687 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0174 higher (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.023); p = 2 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p22 — between genes, 1.6 kb from NAT2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4646248

What is rs4646248?

rs4646248 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near NAT2 gene. Published research associates it with serum albumin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4646248 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 rs4646248 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33462484. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
