Apolipoprotein B levels

MARK4 · rs142501705

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−8, with 1 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 340,860 European ancestry individuals, 5,962 African ancestry individuals, 7,275 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.122 higher (95% confidence interval 0.081-0.162); p = 5 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.32 — a missense change in MARK4.

What ClinVar records

Classification Uncertain significance for TRAPPC6A-related disorder; criteria provided, single submitter (1 of 4 stars, 3 submitters). ClinVar record 805851 NM_001270891.2(TRAPPC6A):c.277T>A (p.Tyr93Asn)

Change history MyGeneLog™ keeps a copy of every weekly release from 2026-10-19 and compares them. This position's classification has not changed since.

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs142501705

What is rs142501705?

rs142501705 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MARK4 gene. Published research associates it with apolipoprotein b levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs142501705 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 rs142501705 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33462484. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
