Carotid intima-media thickness (MTAG)

PINX1 · rs11250072

What the study found

Who was studied at least 113,578 European ancestry individuals (MTAG boosted by 455,258 Alzheimer's disease samples).

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0361 higher (95% confidence interval 0.028-0.044); p = 5 × 10−18.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8p23.1 — in an intron of PINX1.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Carotid intima-media thickness (MTAG). 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 Carotid intima-media thickness (MTAG). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Carotid intima-media thickness (MTAG). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs11250072

What is rs11250072?

rs11250072 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PINX1 gene. Published research associates it with carotid intima-media thickness (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11250072 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 rs11250072 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:39537608. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
