SLC38A4 · rs12297321

What the study found

Who was studied 80,003 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.048 higher (95% confidence interval 0.032-0.064); p = 7 × 10−13.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 15% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q13.11 — in an intron of SLC38A4-AS1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12297321

What is rs12297321?

rs12297321 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC38A4 gene. Published research associates it with glycine levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12297321 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 rs12297321 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2019, PMID:30837465. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
