Facial morphology (segment 7)

near RPL36P14 · rs1999464

What the study found

Who was studied 4,680 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 3,566 European ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 2 × 10−34.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 28% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 9, band 9q31.3 — between genes, 18 kb from RPL36P14.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Facial morphology (segment 7). 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 Facial morphology (segment 7). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Facial morphology (segment 7). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs1999464

What is rs1999464?

rs1999464 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RPL36P14 gene. Published research associates it with facial morphology (segment 7). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs1999464 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 rs1999464 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33288918. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
