What the study found

Who was studied 33,157 Finnish ancestry cases, 199,208 Finnish ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.40 times the odds of Pharyngeal disease (95% confidence interval 1.28-1.53); p = 3 × 10−15.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q33.3 — inside ADAM23.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs189411872

What is rs189411872?

rs189411872 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ADAM23 gene. Published research associates it with pharyngeal disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs189411872 linked to?

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

Does having rs189411872 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 rs189411872 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2023, PMID:36653354. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
