Circulating plasma alpha-Klotho levels

CHST9 · rs12607664

What the study found

Who was studied 4,376 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.243 z score higher (95% confidence interval 0.2-0.29); p = 2 × 10−27.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 32% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q11.2 — in an intron of CHST9.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12607664

What is rs12607664?

rs12607664 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CHST9 gene. Published research associates it with circulating plasma alpha-klotho levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12607664 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 rs12607664 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2022, PMID:34542150. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
