Octanoylcarnitine levels

near PPID · rs55936281

What the study found

Who was studied 8,809 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.225 lower (95% confidence interval 0.19-0.26); p = 3 × 10−41.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q32.1 — between genes, 4 kb from PPID.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs55936281

What is rs55936281?

rs55936281 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near PPID gene. Published research associates it with octanoylcarnitine levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs55936281 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 rs55936281 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Metabolites 2022, PMID:35050183. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
