Total bilirubin levels

UGT1A5 · rs6741669

What the study found

Who was studied 1,686 Tibetan ancestry individuals; replicated in 2,065 Tibetan ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 1.11 higher; p = 2 × 10−16.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q37.1 — in a non-coding transcript of UGT1A5.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs6741669

What is rs6741669?

rs6741669 is a single position in the genome, in or near the UGT1A5 gene. Published research associates it with total bilirubin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6741669 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 rs6741669 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Current biology : CB 2023, PMID:37643619. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
