Octanoylcarnitine-to-X-13435 ratio

ETFDH · rs4690909

What the study found

Who was studied 5,000 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 1,522 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.056 higher (95% confidence interval 0.048-0.064); p = 2 × 10−57.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 69% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q32.1 — in an intron of ETFDH.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Octanoylcarnitine-to-X-13435 ratio. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/G One copy of the version the research linked to Octanoylcarnitine-to-X-13435 ratio. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Octanoylcarnitine-to-X-13435 ratio. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4690909

What is rs4690909?

rs4690909 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ETFDH gene. Published research associates it with octanoylcarnitine-to-x-13435 ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4690909 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 rs4690909 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2014, PMID:24816252. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
