DSCAS · rs12958073
Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 158,152 European, African, Hispanic or Latin American and Asian ancestry cases, 1,598,198 European, African, Hispanic or Latin American and Asian ancestry controls.
The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0306 lower (95% confidence interval 0.022-0.039); p = 2 × 10−12.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 47% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q12.1 — in an intron of DSCAS.
rs12958073 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DSCAS gene. Published research associates it with icd10 b35.1: tinea unguium. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
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.
