Hexanoylcarnitine levels

near ACADM · rs7550949

What the study found

Who was studied 8,809 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.353 lower (95% confidence interval 0.32-0.38); p = 4 × 10−109.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p31.1 — between genes, 23.3 kb from ACADM.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs7550949

What is rs7550949?

rs7550949 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ACADM gene. Published research associates it with hexanoylcarnitine levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7550949 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 rs7550949 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Metabolites 2022, PMID:35050183. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
