Metabolite levels (N-acetylarginine; N-alpha-acetylarginine)

ALMS1 · rs6722867

What the study found

Who was studied 9,179 European, Hispanic or African American individuals; replicated in 1,734 Hispanic ancestry children, 6,752 European or African American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.644 higher (95% confidence interval 0.61-0.67); p = 5 × 10−303.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 39% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p13.1 — in an intron of ALMS1.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Metabolite levels (N-acetylarginine; N-alpha-acetylarginine). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Metabolite levels (N-acetylarginine; N-alpha-acetylarginine). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Metabolite levels (N-acetylarginine; N-alpha-acetylarginine). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs6722867

What is rs6722867?

rs6722867 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ALMS1 gene. Published research associates it with metabolite levels (n-acetylarginine; n-alpha-acetylarginine). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6722867 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 rs6722867 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2023, PMID:37253714. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
