Cranial vault shape (segment 1)

LINC02934 · rs2009778

What the study found

Who was studied 4,198 European ancestry individuals, 2,574 African American or Afro-Caribbean, Hispanic or Latin American, Sub-Saharan African ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is C; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 1 × 10−20.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2p14 — in an intron of LINC02934.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Cranial vault shape (segment 1). 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 Cranial vault shape (segment 1). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Cranial vault shape (segment 1). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs2009778

What is rs2009778?

rs2009778 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC02934 gene. Published research associates it with cranial vault shape (segment 1). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2009778 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 rs2009778 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2023, PMID:37973980. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
