Tyrosine levels

SLC16A10 · rs12191266

What the study found

Who was studied 7,142 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.15 lower (95% confidence interval 0.11-0.19); p = 4 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 14% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q21 — in an intron of SLC16A10.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12191266

What is rs12191266?

rs12191266 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC16A10 gene. Published research associates it with tyrosine levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12191266 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 rs12191266 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS genetics 2020, PMID:32150548. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
