DNA methylation PhenoAge acceleration

near CREB3L3 · rs73538174

What the study found

Who was studied 6,148 African American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 3.25 lower (95% confidence interval 2.88-3.61); p = 6 × 10−69.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 82% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19p13.3 — between genes, 0.1 kb from CREB3L3.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 2 submitters), last evaluated 2021-05-11. ClinVar record 1239511 NC_000019.10:g.4153569A>G

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to DNA methylation PhenoAge acceleration. 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 DNA methylation PhenoAge acceleration. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to DNA methylation PhenoAge acceleration. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs73538174

What is rs73538174?

rs73538174 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CREB3L3 gene. Published research associates it with dna methylation phenoage acceleration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs73538174 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 rs73538174 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.
