5-formyltetrahydrofolate cyclo-ligase levels (MTHFS.14107.1.3)

ST20-MTHFS · rs7173566

What the study found

Who was studied 3,301 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.21 lower (95% confidence interval -0.15--0.27); p = 6 × 10−16.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 34% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q25.1 — in an intron of ST20-MTHFS.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to 5-formyltetrahydrofolate cyclo-ligase levels (MTHFS.14107.1.3). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to 5-formyltetrahydrofolate cyclo-ligase levels (MTHFS.14107.1.3). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to 5-formyltetrahydrofolate cyclo-ligase levels (MTHFS.14107.1.3). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs7173566

What is rs7173566?

rs7173566 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ST20-MTHFS gene. Published research associates it with 5-formyltetrahydrofolate cyclo-ligase levels (mthfs.14107.1.3). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7173566 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 rs7173566 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2018, PMID:29875488. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
