Skin color in green band

near SLC24A5 · rs2965303

What the study found

Who was studied 1,544 Sub-Saharan African ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 1.97 higher; p = 2 × 10−15.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 28% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q21.1 — between genes, 121.8 kb from SLC24A5.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2965303

What is rs2965303?

rs2965303 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near SLC24A5 gene. Published research associates it with skin color in green band. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2965303 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 rs2965303 come from?

GWAS Catalog, American journal of human genetics 2026, PMID:42586059. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
