Cerebrospinal fluid N-acetyl-beta-alanine levels

PTER · rs12572781

What the study found

Who was studied 2,602 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0879 higher (95% confidence interval 0.082-0.094); p = 1 × 10−196.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10p13 — in an intron of PTER.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid N-acetyl-beta-alanine 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 Cerebrospinal fluid N-acetyl-beta-alanine levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid N-acetyl-beta-alanine levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12572781

What is rs12572781?

rs12572781 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PTER gene. Published research associates it with cerebrospinal fluid n-acetyl-beta-alanine levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12572781 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 rs12572781 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:39528826. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
