LDHB · rs78010089

What the study found

Who was studied 434,646 British ancestry individuals, 8,796 British Central/South Asian individuals, 6,573 British African individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.06 mmol/L lower (95% confidence interval 0.04-0.08); p = 3 × 10−15.

Where it sits Chromosome 12, band 12p12.1 — in an intron of LDHB.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Pyruvate levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Pyruvate levels.
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Pyruvate levels compared to the general population.

Questions about rs78010089

What is rs78010089?

rs78010089 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LDHB gene. Published research associates it with pyruvate levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs78010089 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 rs78010089 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:41044249. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
