Glycine levels (UKB data field 23462)

SLC38A4-AS1 · rs56819961

What the study found

Who was studied 88,258 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0407 higher (95% confidence interval 0.03-0.051); p = 9 × 10−14.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q13.11 — in an intron of SLC38A4-AS1.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Glycine levels (UKB data field 23462). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Glycine levels (UKB data field 23462). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Glycine levels (UKB data field 23462). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs56819961

What is rs56819961?

rs56819961 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC38A4-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with glycine levels (ukb data field 23462). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs56819961 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 rs56819961 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Biological psychiatry 2023, PMID:36764567. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
