FAM13B · rs17171711

What the study found

Who was studied 252,730 European ancestry, African ancestry, Hispanic or Latin American, South East Asian ancestry, South Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.0395 lower (95% confidence interval 0.032-0.047); p = 4 × 10−23.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 17% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q31.2 — in an intron of FAM13B.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs17171711

What is rs17171711?

rs17171711 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FAM13B gene. Published research associates it with jt interval. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs17171711 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 rs17171711 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:36050321. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
