Aging traits (healthspan, parental lifespan or longevity) (multivariate analysis)

CASP8/ALS2CR12 · rs700635

What the study found

Who was studied at least 837,415 European ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 2 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 72% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q33.1 — in the 3′ untranslated region of FLACC1.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Aging traits (healthspan, parental lifespan or longevity) (multivariate analysis) compared to the general population.
A/C Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Aging traits (healthspan, parental lifespan or longevity) (multivariate analysis).
C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Aging traits (healthspan, parental lifespan or longevity) (multivariate analysis) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs700635

What is rs700635?

rs700635 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CASP8/ALS2CR12 gene. Published research associates it with aging traits (healthspan, parental lifespan or longevity) (multivariate analysis). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs700635 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 rs700635 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2020, PMID:32678081. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
