Serum alkaline phosphatase levels

SEMA4B · rs12438213

What the study found

Who was studied 390,964 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 105,030 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 7.26 z-score higher; p = 4 × 10−13.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 12% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q26.1 — in an intron of SEMA4B.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12438213

What is rs12438213?

rs12438213 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SEMA4B gene. Published research associates it with serum alkaline phosphatase levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12438213 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 rs12438213 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2021, PMID:33547301. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
