Ambidextrousness

ANKIB1 · rs2040498

What the study found

Who was studied 47,637 European ancestry cases, 1,422,823 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.06 times the odds of Ambidextrousness; p = 5 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 65% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q21.2 — in an intron of ANKIB1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2040498

What is rs2040498?

rs2040498 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ANKIB1 gene. Published research associates it with ambidextrousness. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2040498 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 rs2040498 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature human behaviour 2021, PMID:32989287. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
