Triglyceride levels (MTAG)

CENPA · rs11885857

What the study found

Who was studied 361,194 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0181 lower (95% confidence interval 0.013-0.023); p = 3 × 10−12.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p23.3 — inside CENPA.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs11885857

What is rs11885857?

rs11885857 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CENPA gene. Published research associates it with triglyceride levels (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11885857 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 rs11885857 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:36376304. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
