Sphingomyelin_32:1_[M+H]1+ levels

near WDR89 · rs12878926

What the study found

Who was studied 13,814 British ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.341 higher (95% confidence interval 0.29-0.4); p = 8 × 10−33.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q23.2 — between genes, 0.2 kb from WDR89.

What each result means

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Sphingomyelin_32:1_[M+H]1+ levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Sphingomyelin_32:1_[M+H]1+ levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Sphingomyelin_32:1_[M+H]1+ levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12878926

What is rs12878926?

rs12878926 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near WDR89 gene. Published research associates it with sphingomyelin_32:1_[m+h]1+ levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12878926 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 rs12878926 come from?

GWAS Catalog, BMC medicine 2021, PMID:34503513. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
