Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 10,708 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.703 lower (95% confidence interval 0.66-0.75); p = 2 × 10⁻¹⁹¹.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 86% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p13.3 — in the 5′ untranslated region of GSTM2.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Glutathione S-transferase Mu 4 levels compared to the general population.

C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Glutathione S-transferase Mu 4 levels.

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Glutathione S-transferase Mu 4 levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs553240214

What is rs553240214?

rs553240214 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GSTM2 gene. Published research associates it with glutathione s-transferase mu 4 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs553240214 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 rs553240214 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2021, PMID:34648354. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
