Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 59,674 European ancestry cases, 316,078 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.06 times the odds of Migraine (95% confidence interval 1.04-1.07); p = 7 × 10⁻¹³.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 28% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p21.2 — in an intron of KCNK5.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Migraine. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Migraine. That is a smaller link than two copies.

T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Migraine. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs10456100

What is rs10456100?

rs10456100 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KCNK5 gene. Published research associates it with migraine. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs10456100 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Migraine. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs10456100 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 rs10456100 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2016, PMID:27322543. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
