TMEM229B · rs1885040

What the study found

Who was studied 5,662 Pakistani ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0816 lower (95% confidence interval 0.06-0.103); p = 1 × 10−13.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q24.1 — in an intron of TMEM229B.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Phosphatidylcholine-O(36:5)_[M+H]1+/Phosphatidylcholine-P(36:4)_[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 Phosphatidylcholine-O(36:5)_[M+H]1+/Phosphatidylcholine-P(36:4)_[M+H]1+ levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Phosphatidylcholine-O(36:5)_[M+H]1+/Phosphatidylcholine-P(36:4)_[M+H]1+ levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs1885040

What is rs1885040?

rs1885040 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TMEM229B gene. Published research associates it with phosphatidylcholine-o(36:5)_[m+h]1+/phosphatidylcholine-p(36:4)_[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 rs1885040 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 rs1885040 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.
