Facial morphology (segment 31)

near LINC02853 · rs34961041

What the study found

Who was studied 4,680 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 3,566 European ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 9 × 10−14.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 41% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q14 — between genes, 101.8 kb from LINC02853.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Facial morphology (segment 31). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Facial morphology (segment 31). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Facial morphology (segment 31). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs34961041

What is rs34961041?

rs34961041 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC02853 gene. Published research associates it with facial morphology (segment 31). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs34961041 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 rs34961041 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33288918. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
