Serum alkaline phosphatase levels

MYO3A · rs72789937

What the study found

Who was studied 342,535 European ancestry individuals, 6,019 African ancestry individuals, 7,337 South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0401 lower (95% confidence interval 0.031-0.05); p = 7 × 10−17.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10p12.1 — in an intron of MYO3A.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs72789937

What is rs72789937?

rs72789937 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MYO3A gene. Published research associates it with serum alkaline phosphatase levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs72789937 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 rs72789937 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33462484. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
