Blood tauro-beta-muricholate levels

ZKSCAN5 · rs12533251

What the study found

Who was studied 4,759 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.62 higher (95% confidence interval 0.47-0.77); p = 2 × 10−15.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 9% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q22.1 — in an intron of ZKSCAN5.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12533251

What is rs12533251?

rs12533251 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZKSCAN5 gene. Published research associates it with blood tauro-beta-muricholate levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12533251 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 rs12533251 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genome biology 2026, PMID:42426908. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
