Brain uracil levels

UPP1 · rs6463462

What the study found

Who was studied 1,016 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0612 higher (95% confidence interval 0.043-0.08); p = 1 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7p12.3 — in an intron of UPP1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs6463462

What is rs6463462?

rs6463462 is a single position in the genome, in or near the UPP1 gene. Published research associates it with brain uracil levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6463462 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 rs6463462 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:39528826. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
