Cerebrospinal fluid protein SLC16A1 levels

SLC16A1-AS1 · rs4838971

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 2,524 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.195 higher (95% confidence interval 0.15-0.24); p = 8 × 10⁻¹⁷.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 22% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p13.2 — in an intron of SLC16A1-AS1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid protein SLC16A1 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 Cerebrospinal fluid protein SLC16A1 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Cerebrospinal fluid protein SLC16A1 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4838971

What is rs4838971?

rs4838971 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC16A1-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with cerebrospinal fluid protein slc16a1 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4838971 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 rs4838971 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science translational medicine 2026, PMID:42054495. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
