DNA methylation Hannum age acceleration

UHRF2 · rs111520934

What the study found

Who was studied 6,148 African American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 1.2 lower (95% confidence interval 0.82-1.58); p = 5 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 93% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9p24.1 — in an intron of UHRF2.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to DNA methylation Hannum age acceleration. 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 DNA methylation Hannum age acceleration. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to DNA methylation Hannum age acceleration. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs111520934

What is rs111520934?

rs111520934 is a single position in the genome, in or near the UHRF2 gene. Published research associates it with dna methylation hannum 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 rs111520934 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 rs111520934 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.
