Saliva microbiota abundance (Eggerthia)

near PDLIM1P3 · rs8064338

What the study found

Who was studied 1,915 Chinese ancestry individuals; replicated in 1,299 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.15 lower (95% confidence interval 0.11-0.19); p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 48% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q11.1 — between genes, 44 kb from PDLIM1P3.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Saliva microbiota abundance (Eggerthia). 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 Saliva microbiota abundance (Eggerthia). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Saliva microbiota abundance (Eggerthia). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs8064338

What is rs8064338?

rs8064338 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PDLIM1P3 gene. Published research associates it with saliva microbiota abundance (eggerthia). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs8064338 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 rs8064338 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell discovery 2021, PMID:34873157. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
