MAPK7 · rs140404849

What the study found

Who was studied 14,296 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 5,698 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.454 higher (95% confidence interval 0.32-0.59); p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p11.2 — a synonymous change in MAPK7.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Carnitine levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Carnitine levels.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Carnitine levels compared to the general population.

Questions about rs140404849

What is rs140404849?

rs140404849 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MAPK7 gene. Published research associates it with carnitine levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs140404849 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 rs140404849 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature medicine 2022, PMID:36357675. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
