Caffeine metabolism (plasma 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine (caffeine) level)

ARID3B · rs12909047

What the study found

Who was studied 9,054 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 822 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 6.77 Z-score lower (95% confidence interval -); p = 1 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 51% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q24.1 — in an intron of UBL7-DT.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Caffeine metabolism (plasma 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine (caffeine) level). 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 Caffeine metabolism (plasma 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine (caffeine) level). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Caffeine metabolism (plasma 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine (caffeine) level). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12909047

What is rs12909047?

rs12909047 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ARID3B gene. Published research associates it with caffeine metabolism (plasma 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine (caffeine) level). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12909047 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 rs12909047 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2016, PMID:27702941. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
