Neonatal butyrylcarnitine (C4) levels (maternal genotype effect)

UNC119B · rs695948

What the study found

Who was studied 8,744 East Asian ancestry individuals; replicated in 19,041 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.318 higher; p = 3 × 10−32.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 7% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12q24.31 — in an intron of UNC119B.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Neonatal butyrylcarnitine (C4) levels (maternal genotype effect). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Neonatal butyrylcarnitine (C4) levels (maternal genotype effect). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Neonatal butyrylcarnitine (C4) levels (maternal genotype effect). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs695948

What is rs695948?

rs695948 is a single position in the genome, in or near the UNC119B gene. Published research associates it with neonatal butyrylcarnitine (c4) levels (maternal genotype effect). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs695948 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 rs695948 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Cell genomics 2024, PMID:39389019. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
