Mitochondrial DNA copy number

NAALADL2 · rs144874692

What the study found

Who was studied 3,647 European ancestry children.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.632 lower (95% confidence interval 0.41-0.85); p = 2 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q26.31 — between genes, 6.2 kb from ACTG1P23.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Mitochondrial DNA copy number. 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 Mitochondrial DNA copy number. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Mitochondrial DNA copy number. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs144874692

What is rs144874692?

rs144874692 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NAALADL2 gene. Published research associates it with mitochondrial dna copy number. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs144874692 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 rs144874692 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human genomics 2019, PMID:30704525. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
