GM1 ganglioside (d18:1/16:0) levels

ST6GAL1 · rs74618283

What the study found

Who was studied 6,057 European ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 1 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q27.3 — in an intron of ST6GAL1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to GM1 ganglioside (d18:1/16:0) levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to GM1 ganglioside (d18:1/16:0) levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to GM1 ganglioside (d18:1/16:0) levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs74618283

What is rs74618283?

rs74618283 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ST6GAL1 gene. Published research associates it with gm1 ganglioside (d18:1/16:0) levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs74618283 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 rs74618283 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35668104. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
