near RXFP3 · rs10054129

What the study found

Who was studied 4,985 Iberian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.212 lower (95% confidence interval 0.16-0.26); p = 4 × 10−15.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 9% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5p13.2 — between genes, 2.7 kb from RXFP3.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs10054129

What is rs10054129?

rs10054129 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RXFP3 gene. Published research associates it with skin color. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs10054129 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 rs10054129 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genes 2023, PMID:36672889. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
