Phosphatidylcholines (40:5)A levels

near CD6 · rs12808046

What the study found

Who was studied 650 Amish individuals; replicated in 847 European American ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.351 lower; p = 1 × 10−8.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 32% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q12.2 — between genes, 0.8 kb from CD6.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Phosphatidylcholines (40:5)A levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Phosphatidylcholines (40:5)A levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Phosphatidylcholines (40:5)A levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs12808046

What is rs12808046?

rs12808046 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CD6 gene. Published research associates it with phosphatidylcholines (40:5)a levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12808046 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 rs12808046 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Communications biology 2022, PMID:35393526. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
