Sphingomyelins (FA14:0) (Model 1)

ESR2 · rs117042313

What the study found

Who was studied 7,279 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.471 lower; p = 7 × 10−20.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q23.3 — inside ESR2.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Sphingomyelins (FA14:0) (Model 1) compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Sphingomyelins (FA14:0) (Model 1).
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Sphingomyelins (FA14:0) (Model 1) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs117042313

What is rs117042313?

rs117042313 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ESR2 gene. Published research associates it with sphingomyelins (fa14:0) (model 1). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs117042313 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 rs117042313 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2026, PMID:42069741. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
