Phosphatidylcholine (36:0) levels

near DEGS1 · rs4653568

What the study found

Who was studied 4,492 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.148 higher (95% confidence interval 0.1-0.19); p = 1 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q42.11 — between genes, 15.2 kb from DEGS1.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Phosphatidylcholine (36:0) levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Phosphatidylcholine (36:0) levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Phosphatidylcholine (36:0) levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs4653568

What is rs4653568?

rs4653568 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near DEGS1 gene. Published research associates it with phosphatidylcholine (36:0) levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4653568 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 rs4653568 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35668104. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
