Solid lines are connections this site curates. Dashed lines mean the two ends share a research paper — worth knowing, and not a claim that one explains the other.
What the study found
Who was studied 26,316 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 21,185 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.013 lower (95% confidence interval -0.003-0.028); p = 4 × 10−8.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 24% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q11.22 — in an intron of AUTS2.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Alcohol consumption. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/TOne copy of the version the research linked to Alcohol consumption. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to Alcohol consumption. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
Papers in Europe PMC whose title or abstract names both this rsID and that subject. A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together — it is not a claim that this position explains the subject.
Questions about rs6943555
What is rs6943555?
rs6943555 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AUTS2 gene. Published research associates it with alcohol consumption. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs6943555 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Alcohol Consumption. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
What do people read about alongside rs6943555?
Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include alcohol and the flush (5 papers), cholesterol and blood fats (1 papers), personality (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 rs6943555 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 rs6943555 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2011, PMID:21471458. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
