Gamma glutamyl transferase levels

DLG5 · rs61855849

What the study found

Who was studied 288,127 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0576 higher (95% confidence interval 0.051-0.065); p = 6 × 10−57.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 21% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q22.3 — in an intron of DLG5.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs61855849

What is rs61855849?

rs61855849 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DLG5 gene. Published research associates it with gamma glutamyl transferase levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs61855849 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 rs61855849 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:36333282. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
