Dihexosylceramide (d18:1/24:0) levels

A4GALT · rs13056962

What the study found

Who was studied 4,492 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.195 higher (95% confidence interval 0.15-0.24); p = 4 × 10−15.

Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q13.2 — in an intron of A4GALT.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Dihexosylceramide (d18:1/24:0) levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Dihexosylceramide (d18:1/24:0) levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Dihexosylceramide (d18:1/24:0) levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs13056962

What is rs13056962?

rs13056962 is a single position in the genome, in or near the A4GALT gene. Published research associates it with dihexosylceramide (d18:1/24:0) levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs13056962 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 rs13056962 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35668104. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
