LINC02136 · rs12444212

What the study found

Who was studied 361,194 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0118 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0083-0.0153); p = 4 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16q22.2 — in an intron of LINC02136.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Low-density lipoprotein levels (MTAG) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Low-density lipoprotein levels (MTAG).
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Low-density lipoprotein levels (MTAG) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs12444212

What is rs12444212?

rs12444212 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC02136 gene. Published research associates it with low-density lipoprotein levels (mtag). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12444212 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 rs12444212 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:36376304. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
