X-16397 levels

XKR9 · rs7844508

What the study found

Who was studied 8,057 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.122 higher (95% confidence interval 0.091-0.153); p = 2 × 10−14.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 60% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q13.3 — in an intron of XKR9.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to X-16397 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to X-16397 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to X-16397 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs7844508

What is rs7844508?

rs7844508 is a single position in the genome, in or near the XKR9 gene. Published research associates it with x-16397 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7844508 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 rs7844508 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2023, PMID:36635386. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
