Ceramide (d20:1/24:1) levels

ISM1 · rs76561844

What the study found

Who was studied 4,492 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.568 higher (95% confidence interval 0.39-0.75); p = 1 × 10−9.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20p12.1 — in an intron of ISM1.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Ceramide (d20:1/24:1) levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Ceramide (d20:1/24:1) levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Ceramide (d20:1/24:1) levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs76561844

What is rs76561844?

rs76561844 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ISM1 gene. Published research associates it with ceramide (d20:1/24:1) levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs76561844 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 rs76561844 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35668104. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
