Folate levels

near OR4A9P · rs78799386

What the study found

Who was studied 38,000 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.167 higher (95% confidence interval 0.12-0.22); p = 4 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q11 — between genes, 1.4 kb from OR4A9P.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs78799386

What is rs78799386?

rs78799386 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near OR4A9P gene. Published research associates it with folate levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs78799386 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 rs78799386 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:39414775. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
