Sphingomyelin(32:1)_[M+H]1+ levels

EIF2S2P1 · rs73267621

What the study found

Who was studied 5,662 Pakistani ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0406 lower (95% confidence interval 0.028-0.053); p = 3 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q23.2 — in a non-coding transcript of EIF2S2P1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Sphingomyelin(32:1)_[M+H]1+ levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Sphingomyelin(32:1)_[M+H]1+ levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Sphingomyelin(32:1)_[M+H]1+ levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs73267621

What is rs73267621?

rs73267621 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EIF2S2P1 gene. Published research associates it with sphingomyelin(32:1)_[m+h]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 rs73267621 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 rs73267621 come from?

GWAS Catalog, BMC medicine 2021, PMID:34503513. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
