DLG2 · rs146094436

What the study found

Who was studied 594 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 119,312 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 3,238 European ancestry cases, 438,412 European ancestry controls, 456 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 58,256 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 2.28 lower (95% confidence interval 2.23-2.33); p = 4 × 10−11.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11q14.1 — in an intron of DLG2.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Disorders of external ear (PheCode 380) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Disorders of external ear (PheCode 380).
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Disorders of external ear (PheCode 380) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs146094436

What is rs146094436?

rs146094436 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DLG2 gene. Published research associates it with disorders of external ear (phecode 380). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs146094436 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 rs146094436 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.
