Where this position leads
Condition: Hirsutism
What the study found
Who was studied 1,004 European ancestry female cases, 345,552 European ancestry female controls, 3,830 East Asian ancestry female cases, 7,414 East Asian ancestry female controls.
The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 3.65 times the odds of Hirsutism (95% confidence interval 2.42-5.52); p = 8 × 10−10.
How common The T allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q21.21 — in an intron of CFAP299.
rs180731645 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CFAP299 gene. Published research associates it with hirsutism. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Hirsutism. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
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.
