Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What the study found

Who was studied 63,184 Hispanic or Latino individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0399 lower (95% confidence interval 0.017-0.063); p = 2 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 55% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p13.3 — in an intron of WDR81.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Triglyceride 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 Triglyceride levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Triglyceride levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs12939051

What is rs12939051?

rs12939051 is a single position in the genome, in or near the WDR81 gene. Published research associates it with triglyceride levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12939051 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 rs12939051 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40210677. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
