Vitamin B12 levels

TCN1 · rs34324219

What the study found

Who was studied 1,001 Indo-European ancestry adults; replicated in 1,713 Indo-European ancestry adults, 690 Indo-European ancestry children, 481 Dravidian ancestry adults, 534 Dravidian ancestry children.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.34 pmol/l lower; p = 4 × 10−8.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q12.1 — a missense change in TCN1.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Vitamin B12 levels compared to the general population.
A/C Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Vitamin B12 levels.
C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Vitamin B12 levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs34324219

What is rs34324219?

rs34324219 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TCN1 gene. Published research associates it with vitamin b12 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs34324219 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 rs34324219 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2017, PMID:28334792. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
