DSC2 · rs1790683

What the study found

Who was studied 3,506 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.296 higher (95% confidence interval 0.25-0.34); p = 2 × 10−36.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 29% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q12.1 — in an intron of DSC2.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign for Hepatocellular carcinoma; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 3 submitters), last evaluated 2018-06-14. ClinVar record 672107 NM_024422.6(DSC2):c.355-102A>C

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 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

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Desmocollin-2 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Desmocollin-2 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Desmocollin-2 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs1790683

What is rs1790683?

rs1790683 is a single position in the genome, in or near the DSC2 gene. Published research associates it with desmocollin-2 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1790683 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 rs1790683 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2024, PMID:39528825. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
