HSD17B4 · rs56050317

What the study found

Who was studied 7,690 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.206 lower (95% confidence interval 0.15-0.26); p = 5 × 10−12.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 7% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q23.1 — in an intron of HSD17B4.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to X-17654 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to X-17654 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to X-17654 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs56050317

What is rs56050317?

rs56050317 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HSD17B4 gene. Published research associates it with x-17654 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs56050317 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 rs56050317 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2023, PMID:36635386. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
