Pallidum iron levels (R2* MRI)

near LINC01242 · rs540955148

What the study found

Who was studied 39,533 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.583 lower (95% confidence interval 0.39-0.78); p = 2 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9p21.1 — between genes, 32.4 kb from LINC01242.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Pallidum iron levels (R2* MRI). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Pallidum iron levels (R2* MRI). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Pallidum iron levels (R2* MRI). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs540955148

What is rs540955148?

rs540955148 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC01242 gene. Published research associates it with pallidum iron levels (r2* mri). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs540955148 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 rs540955148 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Neurobiology of disease 2024, PMID:38789058. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
