Hexosylceramides (FA20:0) (Model 1)

CERS4 · rs77436451

What the study found

Who was studied 7,280 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.266 lower; p = 3 × 10−13.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19p13.2 — in an intron of CERS4.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Hexosylceramides (FA20:0) (Model 1). 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 Hexosylceramides (FA20:0) (Model 1). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Hexosylceramides (FA20:0) (Model 1). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs77436451

What is rs77436451?

rs77436451 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CERS4 gene. Published research associates it with hexosylceramides (fa20:0) (model 1). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs77436451 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 rs77436451 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2026, PMID:42069741. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
