What the study found

Who was studied 480,842 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.007 higher (95% confidence interval 0.005-0.009); p = 4 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 41% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q21.32 — between genes, 6.8 kb from IGF2BP1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4794015

What is rs4794015?

rs4794015 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RP11-501C14.5 gene. Published research associates it with alcohol consumption. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs4794015 linked to?

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

Does having rs4794015 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 rs4794015 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature human behaviour 2019, PMID:31358974. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
