ARHGAP21 · rs145580153

What the study found

Who was studied 351 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 121,344 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 1,414 European ancestry cases, 448,817 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 2.17 lower (95% confidence interval 2.11-2.22); p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10p12.1 — in an intron of ARHGAP21.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Paralysis/spasm of vocal cords or larynx (PheCode 473.3) compared to the general population.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Paralysis/spasm of vocal cords or larynx (PheCode 473.3).
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Paralysis/spasm of vocal cords or larynx (PheCode 473.3) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs145580153

What is rs145580153?

rs145580153 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ARHGAP21 gene. Published research associates it with paralysis/spasm of vocal cords or larynx (phecode 473.3). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs145580153 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 rs145580153 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
