research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can

What the study found
Who was studied 1,256 European, Hispanic or African ancestry individuals; replicated in 325 Arab, Indian or Filipino ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.272 lower (95% confidence interval 0.2-0.34); p = 3 × 10−15.
How common The G allele had a frequency of about 38% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q22.31 — in an intron of ECM2.
What each result means
A/ANo copy of the version the research linked to ECM2 protein level (protein group normalized intensity). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/GOne copy of the version the research linked to ECM2 protein level (protein group normalized intensity). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/GTwo copies of the version the research linked to ECM2 protein level (protein group normalized intensity). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs12338938
What is rs12338938?
rs12338938 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ECM2 gene. Published research associates it with ecm2 protein level (protein group normalized intensity). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs12338938 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 rs12338938 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:41310232. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
