Stands on its own. Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Chronic periodontitis (localised) compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, J Periodontal Res 2018, PMID:30284742)

A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Chronic periodontitis (localised). (GWAS Catalog, J Periodontal Res 2018, PMID:30284742)

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Chronic periodontitis (localised) — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, J Periodontal Res 2018, PMID:30284742)

Questions about rs242016

What is rs242016?

rs242016 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EFCAB4B gene. Published research associates it with chronic periodontitis (localised). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs242016 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 rs242016 come from?

GWAS Catalog, J Periodontal Res 2018, PMID:30284742. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
