Brain 2-hydroxystearate levels

ABAT · rs117229960

What the study found

Who was studied 1,016 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.141 higher (95% confidence interval 0.098-0.183); p = 9 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p13.2 — in an intron of ABAT.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Brain 2-hydroxystearate levels. 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 Brain 2-hydroxystearate levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Brain 2-hydroxystearate levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs117229960

What is rs117229960?

rs117229960 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ABAT gene. Published research associates it with brain 2-hydroxystearate levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs117229960 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 rs117229960 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:39528826. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
