Who was studied 2,619 whole genome sequenced European ancestry individuals, up to 38,213 European ancestry individuals, 1,442 individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.16 nmol/L lower (95% confidence interval 0.12-0.2); p = 5 × 10−20.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 5% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q13.3 — in an intron of ADAMTS3.
What each result means
A/APublished research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Vitamin D levels compared to the general population.
A/CPublished research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Vitamin D levels.
C/CPublished research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Vitamin D levels — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs78862524
What is rs78862524?
rs78862524 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ADAMTS3 gene. Published research associates it with vitamin d levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
What conditions is rs78862524 linked to?
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Vitamin D Deficiency and the GC Gene. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Does having rs78862524 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 rs78862524 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2017, PMID:28757204. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
