Cerebrospinal fluid arabonate/xylonate levels

BCAT2 · rs71352704

What the study found

Who was studied 2,602 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.063 lower (95% confidence interval 0.045-0.081); p = 8 × 10−12.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.33 — in an intron of BCAT2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs71352704

What is rs71352704?

rs71352704 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BCAT2 gene. Published research associates it with cerebrospinal fluid arabonate/xylonate levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs71352704 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 rs71352704 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.
