Dihexosylceramide (d18:2/24:1) levels

ARHGAP45 · rs72975505

What the study found

Who was studied 4,492 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.158 higher (95% confidence interval 0.11-0.2); p = 1 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19p13.3 — in an intron of ARHGAP45.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Dihexosylceramide (d18:2/24:1) 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 Dihexosylceramide (d18:2/24:1) levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Dihexosylceramide (d18:2/24:1) levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs72975505

What is rs72975505?

rs72975505 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ARHGAP45 gene. Published research associates it with dihexosylceramide (d18:2/24:1) levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs72975505 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 rs72975505 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35668104. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
