F-strong flavour liking (derived food-liking factor)

near MAPK8IP1P1 · rs62073099

What the study found

Who was studied 153,924 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0942 lower (95% confidence interval 0.072-0.116); p = 1 × 10−16.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 20% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q21.31 — between genes, 4.5 kb from MAPK8IP1P1.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to F-strong flavour liking (derived food-liking factor). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to F-strong flavour liking (derived food-liking factor). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to F-strong flavour liking (derived food-liking factor). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs62073099

What is rs62073099?

rs62073099 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MAPK8IP1P1 gene. Published research associates it with f-strong flavour 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 rs62073099 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 rs62073099 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.
