ADD1 · rs16843603

What the study found

Who was studied 1,559,001 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.00705 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0048-0.0093); p = 4 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4p16.3 — in an intron of ADD1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs16843603

What is rs16843603?

rs16843603 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ADD1 gene. Published research associates it with aging. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs16843603 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 rs16843603 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature aging 2023, PMID:37550455. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
