2-hydroxy-3-methylvalerate levels

HPS5 · rs12294486

What the study found

Who was studied 8,809 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.153 higher (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.18); p = 1 × 10−27.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p15.1 — in an intron of HPS5.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to 2-hydroxy-3-methylvalerate levels. 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 2-hydroxy-3-methylvalerate levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to 2-hydroxy-3-methylvalerate levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12294486

What is rs12294486?

rs12294486 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HPS5 gene. Published research associates it with 2-hydroxy-3-methylvalerate levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12294486 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 rs12294486 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Metabolites 2022, PMID:35050183. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
