Facial attractiveness (female raters)

ANTXRLP1 · rs2999422

What the study found

Who was studied 3,928 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 455 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.18 lower (95% confidence interval 0.12-0.24); p = 7 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 43% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q11.22 — in an intron of ANTXRLP1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs2999422

What is rs2999422?

rs2999422 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ANTXRLP1 gene. Published research associates it with facial attractiveness (female raters). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs2999422 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 rs2999422 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS genetics 2019, PMID:30946739. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
