What the study found

Who was studied 80,724 European ancestry cases, 748,975 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 0.91 times the odds of Lumbar disc herniation (95% confidence interval 0.88-0.94); p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 4% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q13.3 — between genes, 45.6 kb from SMIM38.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs144549742

What is rs144549742?

rs144549742 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near SMIM38 gene. Published research associates it with lumbar disc herniation. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs144549742 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Lumbar Disc Herniation. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs144549742 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 rs144549742 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:39511132. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
