DSG4 protein levels

near LINC02105 · rs12518752

What the study found

Who was studied 47,745 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0638 lower (95% confidence interval 0.048-0.08); p = 3 × 10−20.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q11.2 — between genes, 12.1 kb from LINC02105.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of DSG4 protein levels — 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 DSG4 protein levels.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of DSG4 protein levels compared to the general population.

Questions about rs12518752

What is rs12518752?

rs12518752 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC02105 gene. Published research associates it with dsg4 protein levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12518752 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 rs12518752 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:39789286. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
