Total bilirubin levels

SMIM12 · rs9426016

What the study found

Who was studied 507,850 East Asian ancestry individuals, 420,829 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0109 lower (95% confidence interval 0.0076-0.0142); p = 8 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p34.3 — inside SMIM12.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Total bilirubin 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 Total bilirubin levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Total bilirubin levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs9426016

What is rs9426016?

rs9426016 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SMIM12 gene. Published research associates it with total bilirubin levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9426016 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 rs9426016 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2025, PMID:40436827. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
