What each result means
C/C
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Primary tooth development (number of teeth) compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2013, PMID:23704328)
C/T
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Primary tooth development (number of teeth). (GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2013, PMID:23704328)
T/T
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Primary tooth development (number of teeth) — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2013, PMID:23704328)

Questions about rs10740993
What is rs10740993?
rs10740993 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CACNB2 gene. Published research associates it with primary tooth development (number of teeth). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs10740993 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 rs10740993 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2013, PMID:23704328. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
