GNLY protein levels

USP39 · rs573708460

What the study found

Who was studied 47,745 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.413 higher (95% confidence interval 0.35-0.48); p = 7 × 10−39.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p11.2 — in an intron of USP39.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of GNLY protein levels compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with GNLY protein levels.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of GNLY protein levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs573708460

What is rs573708460?

rs573708460 is a single position in the genome, in or near the USP39 gene. Published research associates it with gnly protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs573708460 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 rs573708460 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
