Anorectal malformation

PKP3 · rs202227463

What the study found

Who was studied 568 European ancestry cases, 1,860 European ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 3 × 10−16.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 3% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p15.5 — a missense change in PKP3.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs202227463

What is rs202227463?

rs202227463 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PKP3 gene. Published research associates it with anorectal malformation. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs202227463 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 rs202227463 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PloS one 2019, PMID:31136621. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
