Adipoylcarnitine levels

ACOX1 · rs56291490

What the study found

Who was studied 14,296 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 5,698 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.306 lower (95% confidence interval 0.26-0.35); p = 1 × 10−37.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 94% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q25.1 — in an intron of ACOX1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs56291490

What is rs56291490?

rs56291490 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ACOX1 gene. Published research associates it with adipoylcarnitine levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs56291490 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 rs56291490 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature medicine 2022, PMID:36357675. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
