Number of decayed, missing and filled tooth surfaces or use of dentures

SYT14 · rs2046850

What the study found

Who was studied 14,976 European ancestry individuals with decayed, missing or filled tooth surface measurement, 11,816 Hispanic/Latino individuals with decayed, missing or filled tooth surface measurement, 77,714 European ancestry dentures cases, 383,317 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.019 lower (95% confidence interval 0.013-0.025); p = 2 × 10−8.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 19% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q32.2 — in an intron of SYT14.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Number of decayed, missing and filled tooth surfaces or use of dentures. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Number of decayed, missing and filled tooth surfaces or use of dentures. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Number of decayed, missing and filled tooth surfaces or use of dentures. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs2046850

What is rs2046850?

rs2046850 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SYT14 gene. Published research associates it with number of decayed, missing and filled tooth surfaces or use of dentures. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2046850 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 rs2046850 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2019, PMID:31235808. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
