Smoking initiation

near GSDME · rs56000694

What the study found

Who was studied 2,669,029 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0159 lower (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.02); p = 4 × 10−16.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 6% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p15.3 — between genes, 1.7 kb from GSDME.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Smoking initiation. 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 Smoking initiation. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Smoking initiation. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs56000694

What is rs56000694?

rs56000694 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near GSDME gene. Published research associates it with smoking initiation. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs56000694 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 rs56000694 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2022, PMID:36477530. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
