Odorant perception

HBG2 · rs317787

What the study found

Who was studied 9,122 Icelandic ancestry individuals; replicated in 2,204 Icelandic ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 0.75 times the odds of Odorant perception (95% confidence interval 0.70-0.80); p = 5 × 10−17.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 32% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 11, band 11p15.4 — in an intron of HBG2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs317787

What is rs317787?

rs317787 is a single position in the genome, in or near the HBG2 gene. Published research associates it with odorant perception. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs317787 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 rs317787 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Current biology : CB 2020, PMID:33035477. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
