What the study found

Who was studied 712 European ancestry cases, 1,426 European ancestry alchocol dependent controls; replicated in 1,148 European ancestry cases, 922 European ancestry alchocol dependent controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.35 times the odds of Cirrhosis (alcohol related) (95% confidence interval 1.23–1.49); p = 1 × 10−9.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 44% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.42 — between genes, 0.1 kb from TMC4.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Cirrhosis (alcohol related). 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 Cirrhosis (alcohol related). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Cirrhosis (alcohol related). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs626283

What is rs626283?

rs626283 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MBOAT7 gene. Published research associates it with cirrhosis (alcohol related). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs626283 linked to?

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

What do people read about alongside rs626283?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include blood sugar and insulin (2 papers), liver (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs626283 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 rs626283 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2015, PMID:26482880. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
