Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 159,122 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.023 lower (95% confidence interval 0.016-0.03); p = 2 × 10⁻¹⁰.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 41% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q11.2 — a missense change in OR4K17.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Porridge liking compared to the general population.

C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Porridge liking.

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Porridge liking — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs8005245

What is rs8005245?

rs8005245 is a single position in the genome, in or near the OR4K17 gene. Published research associates it with porridge liking. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs8005245 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 rs8005245 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35585065. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
