Sphingomyelin_43_2_[M+H]1+ levels

LINC01722 · rs149383

What the study found

Who was studied 13,814 British ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.175 higher (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.22); p = 2 × 10−15.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20p12.1 — in an intron of LINC01722.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Sphingomyelin_43_2_[M+H]1+ levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Sphingomyelin_43_2_[M+H]1+ levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Sphingomyelin_43_2_[M+H]1+ levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs149383

What is rs149383?

rs149383 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC01722 gene. Published research associates it with sphingomyelin_43_2_[m+h]1+ levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs149383 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 rs149383 come from?

GWAS Catalog, BMC medicine 2021, PMID:34503513. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
