What the study found

Who was studied 51,800 European ancestry cases, 1,087,070 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.07 times the odds of Dyslexia (95% confidence interval 1.047-1.103); p = 5 × 10−8.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 8% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q11.22 — in the 5′ untranslated region of AUTS2.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 2 submitters), last evaluated 2018-07-03. ClinVar record 1178068 NM_015570.4(AUTS2):c.-3A>G

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs3735260

What is rs3735260?

rs3735260 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AUTS2 gene. Published research associates it with dyslexia. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs3735260 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 rs3735260 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2022, PMID:36266505. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
