Facial wrinkles

near NMUR2 · rs10476781

What the study found

Who was studied 3,513 north-western European ancestry individuals; replicated in 599 north-western European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 5.6 z score lower; p = 2 × 10−8.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 94% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q33.1 — between genes, 7.5 kb from NMUR2.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Facial wrinkles. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Facial wrinkles. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Facial wrinkles. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs10476781

What is rs10476781?

rs10476781 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near NMUR2 gene. Published research associates it with facial wrinkles. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs10476781 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 rs10476781 come from?

GWAS Catalog, The Journal of investigative dermatology 2018, PMID:29555444. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
