Aspartate aminotransferase levels

AKNA · rs4979373

What the study found

Who was studied 507,850 East Asian ancestry individuals, 420,829 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0328 lower (95% confidence interval 0.03-0.036); p = 9 × 10−103.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q32 — in an intron of AKNA.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4979373

What is rs4979373?

rs4979373 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AKNA gene. Published research associates it with aspartate aminotransferase levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4979373 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 rs4979373 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40436827. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
