Sphingomyelin (d43:2) levels

near TASP1 · rs13039975

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 0.386 lower; p = 4 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 27% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20p12.1 — between genes, 36.9 kb from TASP1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Sphingomyelin (d43:2) levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Sphingomyelin (d43:2) levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Sphingomyelin (d43:2) levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs13039975

What is rs13039975?

rs13039975 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TASP1 gene. Published research associates it with sphingomyelin (d43:2) levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs13039975 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 rs13039975 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.
