Osteoprotegerin levels

SAMD12-AS1 · rs77255899

What the study found

Who was studied 21,758 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 9,173 individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.168 lower; p = 6 × 10−12.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 4% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q24.12 — in an intron of SAMD12-AS1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs77255899

What is rs77255899?

rs77255899 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SAMD12-AS1 gene. Published research associates it with osteoprotegerin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs77255899 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 rs77255899 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature metabolism 2020, PMID:33067605. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
