STMN2 · rs181634841

What the study found

Who was studied 215 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 121,421 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 1,842 European ancestry cases, 447,311 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 3.97 lower (95% confidence interval 3.96-3.99); p = 1 × 10−12.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 8, band 8q21.13 — in an intron of STMN2.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Other disorders of middle ear and mastoid (PheCode 385) — 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 Other disorders of middle ear and mastoid (PheCode 385).
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Other disorders of middle ear and mastoid (PheCode 385) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs181634841

What is rs181634841?

rs181634841 is a single position in the genome, in or near the STMN2 gene. Published research associates it with other disorders of middle ear and mastoid (phecode 385). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs181634841 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 rs181634841 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
