What the study found

Who was studied 46,768 European ancestry low tanning cases, 74,528 European ancestry moderate and high tanning controls; replicated in 15,547 European ancestry low tanning cases, 39,835 European moderate and high tanning ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.061 higher (95% confidence interval 0.016-0.106); p = 1 × 10−12.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q32.12 — in an intron of LOC105370627.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs1885194

What is rs1885194?

rs1885194 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near SLC24A4 gene. Published research associates it with low tan response. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs1885194 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Sun Sensitivity, Freckling and Skin Cancer Risk. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs1885194 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 rs1885194 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2018, PMID:29739929. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
