Sphingosine 1-phosphate levels

near LY6G5C · rs805269

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 0.234 higher (95% confidence interval 0.18-0.29); p = 7 × 10−16.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 97% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — between genes, 0.2 kb from LY6G5C.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Sphingosine 1-phosphate 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 Sphingosine 1-phosphate levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Sphingosine 1-phosphate levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs805269

What is rs805269?

rs805269 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LY6G5C gene. Published research associates it with sphingosine 1-phosphate levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs805269 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 rs805269 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.
