Telomere length (principal component 1)

near MIR4454 · rs4691069

What the study found

Who was studied 438,351 Non-Finnish European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0646 lower (95% confidence interval 0.06-0.069); p = 1 × 10−161.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 23% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q32.2 — between genes, 6 kb from MIR4454.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4691069

What is rs4691069?

rs4691069 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MIR4454 gene. Published research associates it with telomere length (principal component 1). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4691069 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 rs4691069 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:39192095. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
