Sphingomyelin (d32:1) levels

SYNE2 · rs3866736

What the study found

Who was studied 4,642 European ancestry women.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.494 higher (95% confidence interval 0.39-0.6); p = 6 × 10−20.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q23.2 — in an intron of SYNE2.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Sphingomyelin (d32:1) levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Sphingomyelin (d32:1) levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Sphingomyelin (d32:1) levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs3866736

What is rs3866736?

rs3866736 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SYNE2 gene. Published research associates it with sphingomyelin (d32:1) levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs3866736 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 rs3866736 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Journal of the American Heart Association 2022, PMID:36193934. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
