Human milk oligosaccharide concentration (2'-fucosyllactose)

near PLEKHA4 · rs73061656

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 764 European ancestry individuals, 48 South Asian ancestry individuals, 126 East Asian ancestry individuals, 26 African American or Afro-Caribbean individuals, 16 Other admixed ancestry and unknown ancestry individuals; replicated in 395 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 6.22 zscore lower; p = 5 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.33 — between genes, 0.2 kb from PLEKHA4.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Human milk oligosaccharide concentration (2'-fucosyllactose). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Human milk oligosaccharide concentration (2'-fucosyllactose). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Human milk oligosaccharide concentration (2'-fucosyllactose). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs73061656

What is rs73061656?

rs73061656 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PLEKHA4 gene. Published research associates it with human milk oligosaccharide concentration (2'-fucosyllactose). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs73061656 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 rs73061656 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:39232002. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
