SPATA5 · rs144663795

What the study found

Who was studied 4,064 European ancestry cases, 291,472 European ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 1 × 10−10.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q28.1 — in an intron of AFG2A.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs144663795

What is rs144663795?

rs144663795 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SPATA5 gene. Published research associates it with concussion. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs144663795 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 rs144663795 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Medicine and science in sports and exercise 2021, PMID:33017352. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
