Cerebrospinal fluid N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate (NAAG) levels

near OR5L1 · rs549739502

What the study found

Who was studied 2,602 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0778 lower (95% confidence interval 0.055-0.1); p = 1 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q12.1 — between genes, 7 kb from OR5L1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate (NAAG) levels. 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 Cerebrospinal fluid N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate (NAAG) levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate (NAAG) levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs549739502

What is rs549739502?

rs549739502 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near OR5L1 gene. Published research associates it with cerebrospinal fluid n-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate (naag) levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs549739502 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 rs549739502 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:39528826. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
