Isobutyrylcarnitine levels

near ACADS · rs3021337

Strength of the evidence

1 / 4

Its strongest genetic-study result is p = 10−9, with 1 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 14,296 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 5,698 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0672 lower (95% confidence interval 0.046-0.089); p = 1 × 10−9.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 30% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q24.31 — between genes, 0.3 kb from ACADS.

Change history MyGeneLog™ keeps a copy of every weekly release from 2026-10-19 and compares them. This position's classification has not changed since.

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs3021337

What is rs3021337?

rs3021337 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ACADS gene. Published research associates it with isobutyrylcarnitine levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs3021337 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 rs3021337 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature medicine 2022, PMID:36357675. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
