X-12798 levels

SLC17A4 · rs12212049

Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

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 T allele shifted the measure 0.111 higher (95% confidence interval 0.091-0.131); p = 2 × 10−27.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 42% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.2 — in an intron of SLC17A4.

What each result means

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of X-12798 levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.
G/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with X-12798 levels.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of X-12798 levels compared to the general population.

Questions about rs12212049

What is rs12212049?

rs12212049 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC17A4 gene. Published research associates it with x-12798 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12212049 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 rs12212049 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.
