Intrinsic epigenetic age acceleration

NHLRC1 · rs10949481

What the study found

Who was studied 34,461 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 1.08 lower (95% confidence interval 0.95-1.22); p = 4 × 10−54.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 5% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.3 — in the 3′ untranslated region of NHLRC1.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign for Lafora disease; criteria provided, single submitter (1 of 4 stars, 1 submitter), last evaluated 2018-01-13. ClinVar record 356063 NM_198586.3(NHLRC1):c.*621T>A

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs10949481

What is rs10949481?

rs10949481 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NHLRC1 gene. Published research associates it with intrinsic epigenetic age acceleration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs10949481 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 rs10949481 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genome biology 2021, PMID:34187551. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
