Lactosylceramide 4-alpha-galactosyltransferase levels

near MS4A2 · rs573790

What the study found

Who was studied 3,506 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.131 lower (95% confidence interval 0.09-0.171); p = 9 × 10−13.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 38% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q12.1 — between genes, 0.3 kb from MS4A2.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Lactosylceramide 4-alpha-galactosyltransferase levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Lactosylceramide 4-alpha-galactosyltransferase levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Lactosylceramide 4-alpha-galactosyltransferase levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs573790

What is rs573790?

rs573790 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MS4A2 gene. Published research associates it with lactosylceramide 4-alpha-galactosyltransferase levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs573790 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 rs573790 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:39528825. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
