BACE1-AS · rs202219817

What the study found

Who was studied 40,963 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.349 higher (95% confidence interval 0.27-0.43); p = 8 × 10−18.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q23.3 — a synonymous change in BACE1-AS.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs202219817

What is rs202219817?

rs202219817 is a single position in the genome, in or near the BACE1-AS gene. Published research associates it with triglyceride levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs202219817 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 rs202219817 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2021, PMID:34887591. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
