Enterococcus abundance in stool

MED13L · rs187309577

What the study found

Who was studied 5,959 Finnish ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.177 higher (95% confidence interval 0.13-0.23); p = 2 × 10−12.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q24.21 — inside MED13L.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign for Dextro-looped transposition of the great arteries; criteria provided, single submitter (1 of 4 stars, 1 submitter), last evaluated 2025-10-14. ClinVar record 1601814 NM_015335.5(MED13L):c.5365-13G>A

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-19 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Enterococcus abundance in stool. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Enterococcus abundance in stool. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Enterococcus abundance in stool. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs187309577

What is rs187309577?

rs187309577 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MED13L gene. Published research associates it with enterococcus abundance in stool. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs187309577 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 rs187309577 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2022, PMID:35115689. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
