Age-related hearing impairment

CLRN2 · rs13147559

What the study found

Who was studied 121,934 European ancestry cases, 591,699 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.05 times the odds of Age-related hearing impairment; p = 4 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4p15.32 — a missense change in CLRN2.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Age-related hearing impairment — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Age-related hearing impairment.
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Age-related hearing impairment compared to the general population.

Questions about rs13147559

What is rs13147559?

rs13147559 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CLRN2 gene. Published research associates it with age-related hearing impairment. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs13147559 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 rs13147559 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Communications biology 2021, PMID:34108613. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
