Alanine aminotransferase levels

SLC12A8 · rs6762589

What the study found

Who was studied 1,010,710 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0029 higher (95% confidence interval 0.0021-0.0037); p = 5 × 10−14.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q21.2 — in an intron of SLC12A8.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Alanine aminotransferase 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 Alanine aminotransferase levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Alanine aminotransferase levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6762589

What is rs6762589?

rs6762589 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC12A8 gene. Published research associates it with alanine aminotransferase levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6762589 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 rs6762589 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:38632349. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
