SPECC1L · rs9624470

What the study found

Who was studied 395,866 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0253 lower (95% confidence interval 0.021-0.03); p = 7 × 10−29.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 42% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q11.23 — in an intron of ADORA2A.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs9624470

What is rs9624470?

rs9624470 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SPECC1L gene. Published research associates it with caffeine consumption from tea. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9624470 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 rs9624470 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of the American Heart Association 2020, PMID:33287642. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
