What the study found

Who was studied 480,842 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.008 lower (95% confidence interval 0.006-0.01); p = 2 × 10−12.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 34% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 14, band 14q22.3 — in an intron of OTX2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2277499

What is rs2277499?

rs2277499 is a single position in the genome, in or near the OTX2 gene. Published research associates it with alcohol consumption. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs2277499 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Alcohol Consumption. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs2277499 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 rs2277499 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature human behaviour 2019, PMID:31358974. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
