Sphingomyelin (d40:1) levels

near NLRP1 · rs191290403

What the study found

Who was studied 4,642 European ancestry women.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.398 lower (95% confidence interval 0.29-0.51); p = 4 × 10−13.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p13.2 — between genes, 122 kb from NLRP1.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Sphingomyelin (d40:1) 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 (d40:1) levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Sphingomyelin (d40:1) levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs191290403

What is rs191290403?

rs191290403 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near NLRP1 gene. Published research associates it with sphingomyelin (d40:1) levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs191290403 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 rs191290403 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of the American Heart Association 2022, PMID:36193934. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
