What the study found

Who was studied 336,448 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 39,924 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0075 higher (95% confidence interval 0.005-0.01); p = 7 × 10−9.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 81% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q13.2 — between genes, 0.6 kb from POLR3H.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Bitter alcoholic beverage consumption. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Bitter alcoholic beverage consumption. That is a smaller link than two copies.

Questions about rs9607812

What is rs9607812?

rs9607812 is a single position in the genome, in or near the POLR3H gene. Published research associates it with bitter alcoholic beverage consumption. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9607812 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 rs9607812 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2019, PMID:31046077. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
