Cheese consumption

LINC01833 · rs549814

What the study found

Who was studied 438,453 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0266 lower (95% confidence interval 0.022-0.031); p = 2 × 10−32.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 67% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p21 — in an intron of LINC01833.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs549814

What is rs549814?

rs549814 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC01833 gene. Published research associates it with cheese consumption. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs549814 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 rs549814 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2020, PMID:32193382. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
