Carcinoembryonic antigen levels

ABO · rs12554580

What the study found

Who was studied 1,916 Korean ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.239 higher; p = 9 × 10−14.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q34.2 — in the 3′ untranslated region of ABO.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12554580

What is rs12554580?

rs12554580 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ABO gene. Published research associates it with carcinoembryonic antigen levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12554580 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 rs12554580 come from?

GWAS Catalog, GigaScience 2024, PMID:38626723. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
