Sphingolipid levels

ATP10D · rs10938494

What the study found

Who was studied 4,110 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.06 higher (95% confidence interval 0.04-0.07); p = 8 × 10−19.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 23% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4p12 — in an intron of ATP10D.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs10938494

What is rs10938494?

rs10938494 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ATP10D gene. Published research associates it with sphingolipid levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs10938494 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 rs10938494 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2009, PMID:19798445. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
