Ratio of apolipoprotein B to apolipoprotein A1 levels

MACF1 · rs2490945

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−11, with 2 associations in the GWAS Catalog.

How this is scored

4: ClinVar disease-causing, reviewed by an expert panel or a guideline (3–4 stars). 3: ClinVar, several labs agreeing (2 stars), or a genetic study at p ≤ 10−50. 2: ClinVar from one lab (1 star), or p ≤ 10−20. 1: ClinVar submitted without criteria (0 stars), or genome-wide significance (p ≤ 5×10−8). The higher of the two counts. It says how solid the evidence is, not whether it matters for a particular person.

What the study found

Who was studied 4,435 East Asian ancestry individuals, 11,340 South Asian ancestry individuals, 120,241 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0312 lower (95% confidence interval 0.022-0.04); p = 3 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 75% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p34.3 — in an intron of MACF1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Ratio of apolipoprotein B to apolipoprotein A1 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Ratio of apolipoprotein B to apolipoprotein A1 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Ratio of apolipoprotein B to apolipoprotein A1 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs2490945

What is rs2490945?

rs2490945 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MACF1 gene. Published research associates it with ratio of apolipoprotein b to apolipoprotein a1 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2490945 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 rs2490945 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2024, PMID:38448586. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
