PPM1G · rs1260338

What the study found

Who was studied 8,261 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.094 higher (95% confidence interval 0.065-0.124); p = 4 × 10−10.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 43% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p23.3 — in an intron of PPM1G.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Sphingomyelin (d17:1/16:0, d18:1/15:0, d16:1/17:0) levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Sphingomyelin (d17:1/16:0, d18:1/15:0, d16:1/17:0) levels.
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Sphingomyelin (d17:1/16:0, d18:1/15:0, d16:1/17:0) levels compared to the general population.

Questions about rs1260338

What is rs1260338?

rs1260338 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PPM1G gene. Published research associates it with sphingomyelin (d17:1/16:0, d18:1/15:0, d16:1/17:0) levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1260338 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 rs1260338 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2023, PMID:36635386. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
