Lactosyl-N-palmitoyl-sphingosine levels

SLCO5A1 · rs7844108

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 14,296 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 5,698 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0813 lower (95% confidence interval 0.061-0.101); p = 3 × 10−15.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 52% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q13.3 — in an intron of SLCO5A1.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Lactosyl-N-palmitoyl-sphingosine levels compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Lactosyl-N-palmitoyl-sphingosine levels.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Lactosyl-N-palmitoyl-sphingosine levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs7844108

What is rs7844108?

rs7844108 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLCO5A1 gene. Published research associates it with lactosyl-n-palmitoyl-sphingosine levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7844108 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 rs7844108 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature medicine 2022, PMID:36357675. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
