Contactin-2 levels

NFASC · rs3795559

What the study found

Who was studied 997 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 338 Greater Middle Eastern (Middle Eastern, North African or Persian), South Asian ancestry, Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.715 higher (95% confidence interval 0.52-0.91); p = 8 × 10−13.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q32.1 — in the 3′ untranslated region of NFASC.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Contactin-2 levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/C One copy of the version the research linked to Contactin-2 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Contactin-2 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs3795559

What is rs3795559?

rs3795559 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NFASC gene. Published research associates it with contactin-2 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs3795559 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 rs3795559 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2017, PMID:28240269. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
