Mitochondrial DNA levels

BIK · rs11704452

What the study found

Who was studied 295,150 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.0256 lower (95% confidence interval 0.019-0.032); p = 3 × 10−13.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 17% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q13.2 — in an intron of BIK.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs11704452

What is rs11704452?

rs11704452 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BIK gene. Published research associates it with mitochondrial dna levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11704452 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 rs11704452 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human genetics 2021, PMID:33385171. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
