Telomere length (principal component 1)

TENT4B · rs62028293

What the study found

Who was studied 438,351 Non-Finnish European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0558 lower (95% confidence interval 0.04-0.072); p = 1 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q12.1 — in the 3′ untranslated region of TENT4B.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Telomere length (principal component 1). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Telomere length (principal component 1). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Telomere length (principal component 1). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs62028293

What is rs62028293?

rs62028293 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TENT4B gene. Published research associates it with telomere length (principal component 1). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62028293 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 rs62028293 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:39192095. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
