Sphingomyelin levels

GLTPD2 · rs567339168

What the study found

Who was studied 2,045 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.602 lower (95% confidence interval 0.41-0.79); p = 7 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p13.2 — in an intron of LINC01996.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs567339168

What is rs567339168?

rs567339168 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GLTPD2 gene. Published research associates it with sphingomyelin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs567339168 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 rs567339168 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2019, PMID:31551469. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
