Blood 3-decenoylcarnitine levels

ACADM · rs8763

What the study found

Who was studied 4,759 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.739 higher (95% confidence interval 0.6-0.88); p = 2 × 10−25.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 21% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p31.1 — in the 3′ untranslated region of ACADM.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign for Medium-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 2 submitters), last evaluated 2018-01-13. ClinVar record 298078 NM_000016.6(ACADM):c.*672T>C

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Blood 3-decenoylcarnitine levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Blood 3-decenoylcarnitine levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Blood 3-decenoylcarnitine levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs8763

What is rs8763?

rs8763 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ACADM gene. Published research associates it with blood 3-decenoylcarnitine levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs8763 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 rs8763 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genome biology 2026, PMID:42426908. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
