Kynureninase levels

KYNU · rs9013

What the study found

Who was studied 997 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 338 Greater Middle Eastern (Middle Eastern, North African or Persian), South Asian ancestry, Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 1.04 lower (95% confidence interval 0.95-1.14); p = 1 × 10−81.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q22.2 — a missense change in KYNU.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Kynureninase levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Kynureninase levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Kynureninase levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs9013

What is rs9013?

rs9013 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KYNU gene. Published research associates it with kynureninase levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9013 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 rs9013 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2017, PMID:28240269. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
