Telomere length (principal component 1)

near KNOP1P1 · rs12369950

What the study found

Who was studied 438,351 Non-Finnish European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0219 higher (95% confidence interval 0.016-0.028); p = 5 × 10−14.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 86% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12p12.1 — between genes, 24.6 kb from KNOP1P1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Telomere length (principal component 1). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Telomere length (principal component 1). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Telomere length (principal component 1). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs12369950

What is rs12369950?

rs12369950 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near KNOP1P1 gene. Published research associates it with telomere length (principal component 1). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12369950 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 rs12369950 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:39192095. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
