Solid lines are connections this site curates. Dashed lines mean the two ends share a research paper — worth knowing, and not a claim that one explains the other.
What the study found
Who was studied 1,721 Korean ancestry male individuals; replicated in 1,113 Korean ancestry male individuals.
The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.79 lower (95% confidence interval 0.67-0.91); p = 4 × 10−35.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 14% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q24.11 — in an intron of MYL2.
What people read about alongside this
Papers in Europe PMC whose title or abstract names both this rsID and that subject. A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together — it is not a claim that this position explains the subject.
rs12229654 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MYL2 gene. Published research associates it with alcohol consumption. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Alcohol Consumption. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include blood sugar and insulin (3 papers), alcohol and the flush (2 papers), caffeine and energy drinks (1 papers), cholesterol and blood fats (1 papers), heart and circulation (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.
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.
