Leukocyte telomere length

SH3PXD2A · rs141240026

What the study found

Who was studied 327,790 British ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.069 higher (95% confidence interval 0.047-0.091); p = 2 × 10−10.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q24.33 — in an intron of SH3PXD2A.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs141240026

What is rs141240026?

rs141240026 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SH3PXD2A gene. Published research associates it with leukocyte telomere length. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs141240026 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 rs141240026 come from?

GWAS Catalog, GeroScience 2024, PMID:38837026. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
