MOSPD2 · rs139120857

What the study found

Who was studied 1,238,180 European, East Asian, Hispanic, admixed African or South Asian ancestry individuals; replicated in 1,236 Arab ancestry individuals, 4,362 Asian ancestry individuals, 8,205 Hispanic individuals, 10,657 African ancestry individuals, 22,967 African American individuals, 28,290 South Asian ancestry individuals, 71,410 European ancestry individuals, 160,212 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0501 higher (95% confidence interval 0.045-0.055); p = 3 × 10−79.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 6% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome X, band Xp22.2 — in an intron of MOSPD2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs139120857

What is rs139120857?

rs139120857 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MOSPD2 gene. Published research associates it with high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs139120857 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 rs139120857 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genome biology 2022, PMID:36575460. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
