Folding of antihelix

LOC100287225 · rs1619249

What the study found

Who was studied 4,919 Latin American individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.091 higher; p = 1 × 10−8.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 81% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q21.2 — between genes, 20.3 kb from LINC01630.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs1619249

What is rs1619249?

rs1619249 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LOC100287225 gene. Published research associates it with folding of antihelix. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1619249 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 rs1619249 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2015, PMID:26105758. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
