What the study found

Who was studied 2,109 Japanese ancestry cases, 11,140 Japanese ancestry controls; replicated in 2,223 East Asian ancestry cases, 4,724 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.24 times the odds of Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (95% confidence interval 1.16-1.34); p = 3 × 10−9.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 34% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q24.2 — between genes, 26.6 kb from ADGRG6.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. 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 Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. That is a smaller link than two copies.
C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs4637667

What is rs4637667?

rs4637667 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GPR126 gene. Published research associates it with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs4637667 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs4637667 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 rs4637667 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2015, PMID:26211971. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
