Glycine levels (UKB data field 23462)

CPS1 · rs62203720

What the study found

Who was studied 88,258 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.15 higher (95% confidence interval 0.11-0.19); p = 4 × 10−15.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q34 — in an intron of CPS1.

What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Glycine levels (UKB data field 23462) compared to the general population.
G/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Glycine levels (UKB data field 23462).
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Glycine levels (UKB data field 23462) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs62203720

What is rs62203720?

rs62203720 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CPS1 gene. Published research associates it with glycine levels (ukb data field 23462). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62203720 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 rs62203720 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Biological psychiatry 2023, PMID:36764567. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
