FGGY · rs62623594

What the study found

Who was studied 14,296 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 5,698 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.169 higher (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.21); p = 4 × 10−16.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 7% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p32.1 — a missense change in FGGY.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs62623594

What is rs62623594?

rs62623594 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FGGY gene. Published research associates it with ribitol levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62623594 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 rs62623594 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature medicine 2022, PMID:36357675. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
