Adipsin levels

near LINC02481 · rs74441638

What the study found

Who was studied 1,510 Sub-Saharan African ancestry men; replicated in 724 African American men.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.407 lower (95% confidence interval 0.3-0.52); p = 7 × 10−13.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4p16.1 — between genes, 0.9 kb from LINC02481.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs74441638

What is rs74441638?

rs74441638 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC02481 gene. Published research associates it with adipsin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs74441638 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 rs74441638 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genome medicine 2021, PMID:34620218. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
