Sphingomyelin levels

near LINC02571 · rs1634791

What the study found

Who was studied 98,316 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.00165 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0012-0.0021); p = 2 × 10−13.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 46% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — between genes, 7.4 kb from LINC02571.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs1634791

What is rs1634791?

rs1634791 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC02571 gene. Published research associates it with sphingomyelin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1634791 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 rs1634791 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Ophthalmology science 2024, PMID:39091897. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
