Leukocyte telomere length

VAMP2 · rs75664430

What the study found

Who was studied 327,790 British ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.023 lower (95% confidence interval 0.017-0.029); p = 3 × 10−18.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 25% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p13.1 — in the 3′ untranslated region of VAMP2.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign for Neurodevelopmental disorder with hypotonia and autistic features with or without hyperkinetic movements; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 3 submitters), last evaluated 2021-12-05. ClinVar record 1321621 NM_014232.3(VAMP2):c.334+12G>C

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-09-24 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

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Leukocyte telomere length — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Leukocyte telomere length.
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Leukocyte telomere length compared to the general population.

Questions about rs75664430

What is rs75664430?

rs75664430 is a single position in the genome, in or near the VAMP2 gene. Published research associates it with leukocyte telomere length. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs75664430 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 rs75664430 come from?

GWAS Catalog, GeroScience 2024, PMID:38837026. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
