Who was studied 47,745 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.493 lower (95% confidence interval 0.35-0.64); p = 5 × 10−13.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 0% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q43 — in a non-coding transcript of LGALS8-AS1.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to LGALS8 protein levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to LGALS8 protein levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to LGALS8 protein levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs550734969
What is rs550734969?
rs550734969 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LGALS8-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with lgals8 protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs550734969 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Celiac Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs550734969 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 rs550734969 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
