X-12442--5,8-tetradecadienoate levels

THEM4 · rs6685187

What the study found

Who was studied 7,780 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.043 lower (95% confidence interval 0.035-0.051); p = 3 × 10−26.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 41% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q21.3 — in an intron of THEM4.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to X-12442--5,8-tetradecadienoate levels. 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 X-12442--5,8-tetradecadienoate levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to X-12442--5,8-tetradecadienoate levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6685187

What is rs6685187?

rs6685187 is a single position in the genome, in or near the THEM4 gene. Published research associates it with x-12442--5,8-tetradecadienoate levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6685187 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 rs6685187 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2014, PMID:24816252. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
