Does string theory predict any small variation in the magnetic moments of charged elementary particles from the predictions of QED?

Does string theory predict a slightly different magnetic moment for charged elementary particles than QED does? I suspect there should be some variation if only because rather than particles being pointlike as they are in QED, they are instead 1-dimensional extended objects.

Of course, any such variation would be exceptionally small. Far beyond what we can currently measure.
