Intrinsic epigenetic age acceleration

near FIRRM · rs6687517

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 34,461 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.262 higher (95% confidence interval 0.2-0.32); p = 6 × 10⁻¹⁸.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 48% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q24.2 — between genes, 9.2 kb from FIRRM.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Intrinsic epigenetic age acceleration. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Intrinsic epigenetic age acceleration. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Intrinsic epigenetic age acceleration. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6687517

What is rs6687517?

rs6687517 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near FIRRM gene. Published research associates it with intrinsic epigenetic age acceleration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6687517 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 rs6687517 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genome biology 2021, PMID:34187551. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
