What the study found

Who was studied 102,084 European ancestry cases, 771,257 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 1.04 higher (95% confidence interval 1.03-1.06); p = 9 × 10−9.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 15% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q31.2 — a missense change in ZNF462.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign for Weiss-Kruszka syndrome, ZNF462-related disorder; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 4 submitters), last evaluated 2021-12-05. ClinVar record 1175501 NM_021224.6(ZNF462):c.1210A>G (p.Met404Val)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-09-24 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Migraine — 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 Migraine.
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Migraine compared to the general population.

Questions about rs17723637

What is rs17723637?

rs17723637 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ZNF462 gene. Published research associates it with migraine. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs17723637 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Migraine. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs17723637 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 rs17723637 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2022, PMID:35115687. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
