DNA methylation Hannum age acceleration

near BLNK · rs941997

What the study found

Who was studied 34,449 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.348 lower (95% confidence interval 0.28-0.42); p = 9 × 10−22.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 22% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q24.1 — between genes, 14.4 kb from BLNK.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to DNA methylation Hannum age acceleration. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/T One copy of the version the research linked to DNA methylation Hannum age acceleration. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to DNA methylation Hannum age acceleration. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs941997

What is rs941997?

rs941997 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near BLNK gene. Published research associates it with dna methylation hannum age acceleration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs941997 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 rs941997 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.
