Gamma glutamyl transferase levels

near METTL21EP · rs79506257

What the study found

Who was studied 875,069 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0074 higher (95% confidence interval 0.005-0.0098); p = 7 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q33.1 — between genes, 5.2 kb from METTL21EP.

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 rs79506257

What is rs79506257?

rs79506257 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near METTL21EP 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 rs79506257 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 rs79506257 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:38632349. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
