F-capsicum liking (derived food-liking factor)

near PRAG1 · rs55852693

What the study found

Who was studied 157,390 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0743 higher (95% confidence interval 0.052-0.097); p = 1 × 10−10.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 31% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p23.1 — between genes, 0.1 kb from PRAG1.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to F-capsicum liking (derived food-liking factor). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to F-capsicum liking (derived food-liking factor). That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to F-capsicum liking (derived food-liking factor). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs55852693

What is rs55852693?

rs55852693 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PRAG1 gene. Published research associates it with f-capsicum liking (derived food-liking factor). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs55852693 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 rs55852693 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35585065. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
