F-savoury food liking (derived food-liking factor)

LRRTM4 · rs58449464

What the study found

Who was studied 157,915 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0956 higher (95% confidence interval 0.07-0.121); p = 2 × 10−13.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 26% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p12 — in an intron of LRRTM4.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to F-savoury food liking (derived food-liking factor). 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 F-savoury food liking (derived food-liking factor). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to F-savoury food liking (derived food-liking factor). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs58449464

What is rs58449464?

rs58449464 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LRRTM4 gene. Published research associates it with f-savoury food liking (derived food-liking factor). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs58449464 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 rs58449464 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35585065. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
