What each result means
A/A
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Prostate-specific antigen levels compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Hum Genet 2012, PMID:23269536)
A/G
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Prostate-specific antigen levels. (GWAS Catalog, Hum Genet 2012, PMID:23269536)
G/G
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Prostate-specific antigen levels — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Hum Genet 2012, PMID:23269536)

Questions about rs12409639
What is rs12409639?
rs12409639 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC45A3 gene. Published research associates it with prostate-specific antigen levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs12409639 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 rs12409639 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Hum Genet 2012, PMID:23269536. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
