Stands on its own.
Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the
research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 115,128 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 56,001 Hispanic or Latin American individuals, 6,050 East Asian ancestry individuals, 406,803 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0193 lower (95% confidence interval 0.015-0.024); p = 6 × 10−16.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 53% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q11.22 — in an intron of ITCH.
What each result means
C/CNo copy of the version the research linked to Alanine transaminase (ALT, mean, inv-norm transformed). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Alanine transaminase (ALT, mean, inv-norm transformed). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TTwo copies of the version the research linked to Alanine transaminase (ALT, mean, inv-norm transformed). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs6059859
What is rs6059859?
rs6059859 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ITCH gene. Published research associates it with alanine transaminase (alt, mean, inv-norm transformed). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs6059859 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 rs6059859 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
