research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What each result means
C/C
Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Antitragus size compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2015, PMID:26105758)
C/T
Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Antitragus size. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2015, PMID:26105758)
T/T
Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Antitragus size — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2015, PMID:26105758)

Questions about rs17023457
What is rs17023457?
rs17023457 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TBX15 gene. Published research associates it with antitragus size. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs17023457 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 rs17023457 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2015, PMID:26105758. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
