Cerebrospinal fluid methylmalonate (MMA) levels

HIBCH · rs291429

What the study found

Who was studied 2,602 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0572 higher (95% confidence interval 0.052-0.063); p = 2 × 10−87.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q32.2 — inside HIBCH.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid methylmalonate (MMA) levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid methylmalonate (MMA) levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid methylmalonate (MMA) levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs291429

What is rs291429?

rs291429 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HIBCH gene. Published research associates it with cerebrospinal fluid methylmalonate (mma) levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs291429 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 rs291429 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:39528826. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
