NCAM1-AS2 · rs11214436

What the study found

Who was studied 286,026 Hispanic or Latin American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0196 higher (95% confidence interval 0.014-0.025); p = 1 × 10−12.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 36% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q23.2 — in a non-coding transcript of NCAM1-AS2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs11214436

What is rs11214436?

rs11214436 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NCAM1-AS2 gene. Published research associates it with smoking initiation. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11214436 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 rs11214436 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2022, PMID:36477530. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
