Who was studied 8,393 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 1,023 African American individuals, 491 Hispanic individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.631 higher (95% confidence interval 0.46-0.81); p = 1 × 10−12.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 36% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5p15.33 — in an intron of TERT.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to Intrinsic epigenetic age acceleration. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to Intrinsic epigenetic age acceleration. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GNo copy of the version the research linked to Intrinsic epigenetic age acceleration. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2736099
What is rs2736099?
rs2736099 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TERT gene. Published research associates it with intrinsic epigenetic age acceleration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs2736099 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Telomere Length and Epigenetic Age Acceleration. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs2736099 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 rs2736099 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2018, PMID:29374233. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
