What the study found

Who was studied 47,745 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0446 higher (95% confidence interval 0.034-0.055); p = 2 × 10−20.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 63% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q24.3 — in an intron of GFUS.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of KEL protein levels compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with KEL protein levels.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of KEL protein levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs67210953

What is rs67210953?

rs67210953 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GFUS gene. Published research associates it with kel protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs67210953 linked to?

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

Does having rs67210953 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 rs67210953 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
