Marker

rs1532423

rs1532423 is a variant near the CA1 (carbonic anhydrase 1) gene on chromosome 8, identified as a genome-wide-association tag SNP for a trace-mineral trait rather than a characterized coding change. It marks a locus significantly associated with circulating zinc concentration in blood-mineral GWAS, with allele carriage tracking modestly higher or lower blood zinc rather than deficiency or excess. In this dataset it is paired with a PPCDC variant to estimate genetic tendency toward lower, typical, or higher zinc status.
