Dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate levels

ARPC1A · rs740160

What the study found

Who was studied 14,846 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.15 umol/L higher (95% confidence interval 0.11-0.19); p = 2 × 10−16.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 5% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q22.1 — in an intron of ARPC1A.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs740160

What is rs740160?

rs740160 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ARPC1A gene. Published research associates it with dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs740160 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 rs740160 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS genetics 2011, PMID:21533175. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
