Gamma glutamyl transferase levels

SLC2A11 · rs73160439

What the study found

Who was studied 342,339 European ancestry individuals, 6,015 African ancestry individuals, 7,336 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0281 higher (95% confidence interval 0.02-0.036); p = 3 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q11.23 — in an intron of SLC2A11.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Gamma glutamyl transferase levels. 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 Gamma glutamyl transferase levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Gamma glutamyl transferase levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs73160439

What is rs73160439?

rs73160439 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC2A11 gene. Published research associates it with gamma glutamyl transferase levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs73160439 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 rs73160439 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33462484. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
