What the study found

Who was studied 98,316 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.00689 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0047-0.0091); p = 4 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 38% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q25.2 — between genes, 26.3 kb from MIR4424.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2248666

What is rs2248666?

rs2248666 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MIR4424 gene. Published research associates it with phospholipids in hdl. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2248666 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Age-Related Macular Degeneration. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs2248666 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 rs2248666 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Ophthalmology science 2024, PMID:39091897. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
