MEF2C-AS2 · rs448809

What the study found

Who was studied 248,847 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.055 higher (95% confidence interval 0.041-0.069); p = 2 × 10−14.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 44% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q14.3 — in an intron of MEF2C-AS2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs448809

What is rs448809?

rs448809 is a single position in the genome, in or near the MEF2C-AS2 gene. Published research associates it with occupational attainment. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs448809 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 rs448809 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Brain : a journal of neurology 2022, PMID:34613391. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
