Carbonic anhydrase 12 levels

near APH1B · rs16946801

What the study found

Who was studied 2,721 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.812 lower (95% confidence interval 0.77-0.86); p = 2 × 10−234.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 39% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q22.2 — between genes, 3.8 kb from APH1B.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Carbonic anhydrase 12 levels compared to the general population.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Carbonic anhydrase 12 levels.
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Carbonic anhydrase 12 levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs16946801

What is rs16946801?

rs16946801 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near APH1B gene. Published research associates it with carbonic anhydrase 12 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs16946801 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 rs16946801 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:39528825. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
