Chronic elevation of alanine aminotransferase (cALT) levels

DYNLRB1 · rs6059896

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 95,472 European ancestry cases, 68,725 European ancestry controls, 23,977 African American cases, 13,387 African American controls, 7,650 Hispanic cases, 7,468 Hispanic controls, 1,088 Asian ancestry cases, 828 Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.047 higher (95% confidence interval 0.035-0.059); p = 2 × 10−13.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 48% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q11.22 — in an intron of DYNLRB1.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Chronic elevation of alanine aminotransferase (cALT) levels. 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 Chronic elevation of alanine aminotransferase (cALT) levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Chronic elevation of alanine aminotransferase (cALT) levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6059896

What is rs6059896?

rs6059896 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DYNLRB1 gene. Published research associates it with chronic elevation of alanine aminotransferase (calt) levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6059896 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 rs6059896 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2022, PMID:35654975. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
