Transferrin N-glycan 27 levels

near MGAT5 · rs56157644

What the study found

Who was studied 1,890 Korculan or Shetland Isles (founder/genetic isolate) individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.259 lower (95% confidence interval 0.18-0.34); p = 5 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 21% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q21.2 — between genes, 17.2 kb from MGAT5.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Transferrin N-glycan 27 levels. 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 Transferrin N-glycan 27 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Transferrin N-glycan 27 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs56157644

What is rs56157644?

rs56157644 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MGAT5 gene. Published research associates it with transferrin n-glycan 27 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs56157644 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 rs56157644 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35332118. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
