Craniofacial microsomia

ROBO1 · rs13089920

What the study found

Who was studied 330 Chinese ancestry left-side-affected cases, 609 Chinese ancestry right-side-affected cases, 2,012 Chinese ancestry controls; replicated in 151 Chinese ancestry left-side-affected cases, 292 Chinese ancestry right-side-affected cases, 1,669 Chinese ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 5.18 times the odds of Craniofacial microsomia (95% confidence interval 4.51-5.95); p = 2 × 10−120.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 6% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p12.3 — between genes, 22 kb from MRPS17P3.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Craniofacial microsomia. 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 Craniofacial microsomia. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Craniofacial microsomia. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs13089920

What is rs13089920?

rs13089920 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ROBO1 gene. Published research associates it with craniofacial microsomia. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs13089920 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 rs13089920 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2016, PMID:26853712. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
