Sphingomyeline C18:0 levels

CERS4 · rs12610250

What the study found

Who was studied 31,120 Caucasian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 17.6 (zscore) higher; p = 3 × 10−69.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 51% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19p13.2 — in an intron of CERS4.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Sphingomyeline C18:0 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Sphingomyeline C18:0 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Sphingomyeline C18:0 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs12610250

What is rs12610250?

rs12610250 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CERS4 gene. Published research associates it with sphingomyeline c18:0 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12610250 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 rs12610250 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33414548. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
