MIR3936HG · rs191860149

What the study found

Who was studied 14,296 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 5,698 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 1.02 lower (95% confidence interval 0.9-1.14); p = 6 × 10−59.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q31.1 — in an intron of MIR3936HG.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs191860149

What is rs191860149?

rs191860149 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MIR3936HG gene. Published research associates it with carnitine levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs191860149 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 rs191860149 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature medicine 2022, PMID:36357675. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
