Glycosphingolipids (d42:2) levels

ASTN2 · rs1013015909

What the study found

Who was studied 650 Amish individuals; replicated in 847 European American ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 1.15 lower; p = 4 × 10−13.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 3% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q33.1 — in an intron of ASTN2.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Glycosphingolipids (d42:2) levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Glycosphingolipids (d42:2) levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Glycosphingolipids (d42:2) levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs1013015909

What is rs1013015909?

rs1013015909 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ASTN2 gene. Published research associates it with glycosphingolipids (d42:2) levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1013015909 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 rs1013015909 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Communications biology 2022, PMID:35393526. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
