Stands on its own.
Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the
research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 7,125 European ancestry individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.147 higher; p = 3 × 10−19.
Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q21.3 — inside ALDH1A2.
What each result means
A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Phosphatidylethanolamines (18:0/18:2) (Model 2) compared to the general population.
A/GPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Phosphatidylethanolamines (18:0/18:2) (Model 2).
G/GPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Phosphatidylethanolamines (18:0/18:2) (Model 2) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs12438999
What is rs12438999?
rs12438999 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ALDH1A2 gene. Published research associates it with phosphatidylethanolamines (18:0/18:2) (model 2). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs12438999 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 rs12438999 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2026, PMID:42069741. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
