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 the study found
Who was studied 16,763 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 2,340 European ancestry individuals, 2,899 Han Chinese ancestry individuals, 709 Uyghur ancestry individuals, 6,238 Latin American individuals, 15 South American, South Asian or Middle Eastern individuals.
The effect
Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0634 higher (95% confidence interval 0.047-0.08); p = 3 × 10−14.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 5% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q13.33 — in an intron of PTK6.
What each result means
A/ANo copy of the version the research linked to Hair shape. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/COne copy of the version the research linked to Hair shape. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/CTwo copies of the version the research linked to Hair shape. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs310642
What is rs310642?
rs310642 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PTK6 gene. Published research associates it with hair shape. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs310642 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 rs310642 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2017, PMID:29220522. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
