Gamma glutamyl transpeptidase

near GADD45G · rs79512156

What the study found

Who was studied 344,104 European ancestry individuals, 133,471 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.022 higher (95% confidence interval 0.015-0.029); p = 2 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q22.2 — between genes, 11.9 kb from GADD45G.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs79512156

What is rs79512156?

rs79512156 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near GADD45G gene. Published research associates it with gamma glutamyl transpeptidase. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs79512156 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 rs79512156 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:34594039. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
