Vitamin B12 levels

VIM · rs577903256

What the study found

Who was studied 38,000 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.203 higher (95% confidence interval 0.14-0.26); p = 3 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10p13 — in an intron of VIM.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Vitamin B12 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Vitamin B12 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Vitamin B12 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs577903256

What is rs577903256?

rs577903256 is a single position in the genome, in or near the VIM 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 rs577903256 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 rs577903256 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:39414775. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
