Phenylacetate levels

ACSM2B · rs59532339

What the study found

Who was studied 7,059 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.461 higher (95% confidence interval 0.36-0.57); p = 1 × 10−17.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p12.3 — in an intron of ACSM2B.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs59532339

What is rs59532339?

rs59532339 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ACSM2B gene. Published research associates it with phenylacetate levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs59532339 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 rs59532339 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2023, PMID:36635386. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
