What the study found

Who was studied 193,860 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0326 higher (95% confidence interval 0.025-0.04); p = 2 × 10−17.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 15% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18p11.32 — between genes, 88.2 kb from AIDAP3.

Questions about rs8097544

What is rs8097544?

rs8097544 is a single position in the genome, in or near the METTL4 gene. Published research associates it with breakfast cereal skipping frequency. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs8097544 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 rs8097544 come from?

GWAS Catalog, The American journal of clinical nutrition 2019, PMID:31190057. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
