What the study found

Who was studied 449,210 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0328 higher (95% confidence interval 0.023-0.042); p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 95% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p21 — in an intron of LRPPRC.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Alcohol consumption (drinks per month) (UKB data field 1578, 4424). 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 Alcohol consumption (drinks per month) (UKB data field 1578, 4424). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Alcohol consumption (drinks per month) (UKB data field 1578, 4424). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs62136829

What is rs62136829?

rs62136829 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LRPPRC gene. Published research associates it with alcohol consumption (drinks per month) (ukb data field 1578, 4424). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs62136829 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Alcohol Consumption. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs62136829 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 rs62136829 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2020, PMID:32193382. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
