DNA methylation GrimAge acceleration

POU5F1 · rs887466

What the study found

Who was studied 34,467 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.193 lower (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.25); p = 5 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 38% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.33 — in an intron of POU5F1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to DNA methylation GrimAge acceleration. 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 DNA methylation GrimAge acceleration. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to DNA methylation GrimAge acceleration. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs887466

What is rs887466?

rs887466 is a single position in the genome, in or near the POU5F1 gene. Published research associates it with dna methylation grimage acceleration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs887466 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 rs887466 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genome biology 2021, PMID:34187551. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
