Dihexosylceramide (d18:1/22:0) levels

near Y_RNA · rs77347709

What the study found

Who was studied 4,492 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.36 lower (95% confidence interval 0.28-0.44); p = 5 × 10−17.

Where it sits Chromosome 22, band 22q13.2 — between genes, 10.8 kb from Y_RNA.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Dihexosylceramide (d18:1/22:0) levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Dihexosylceramide (d18:1/22:0) levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Dihexosylceramide (d18:1/22:0) levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs77347709

What is rs77347709?

rs77347709 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near Y_RNA gene. Published research associates it with dihexosylceramide (d18:1/22:0) levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs77347709 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 rs77347709 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.
