MITF · rs13097431

What the study found

Who was studied 51,800 European ancestry cases, 1,087,070 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.04 times the odds of Dyslexia (95% confidence interval 1.029-1.058); p = 1 × 10−9.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 58% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p13 — in an intron of MITF.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs13097431

What is rs13097431?

rs13097431 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MITF gene. Published research associates it with dyslexia. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs13097431 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 rs13097431 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2022, PMID:36266505. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
