Ceramides (FA24:1) (Model 2)

LINC01722 · rs6134729

What the study found

Who was studied 7,126 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.165 lower; p = 1 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20p12.1 — in an intron of LINC01722.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Ceramides (FA24:1) (Model 2). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Ceramides (FA24:1) (Model 2). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Ceramides (FA24:1) (Model 2). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6134729

What is rs6134729?

rs6134729 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC01722 gene. Published research associates it with ceramides (fa24:1) (model 2). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6134729 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 rs6134729 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2026, PMID:42069741. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
