Digit length ratio

OLA1 · rs12474669

What the study found

Who was studied 12,586 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.435 higher (95% confidence interval 0.33-0.54); p = 2 × 10−15.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 14% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q31.1 — between genes, 4.5 kb from Y_RNA.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs12474669

What is rs12474669?

rs12474669 is a single position in the genome, in or near the OLA1 gene. Published research associates it with digit length ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs12474669 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 rs12474669 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2018, PMID:29659830. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
