What the study found

Who was studied 47,745 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.109 lower (95% confidence interval 0.091-0.127); p = 2 × 10−38.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 13% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.32 — between genes, 1.2 kb from BCAM.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of MENT protein levels compared to the general population.
A/C Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with MENT protein levels.
C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of MENT protein levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs73048258

What is rs73048258?

rs73048258 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near BCAM gene. Published research associates it with ment protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs73048258 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Celiac Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs73048258 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 rs73048258 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
