What the study found

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

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 0.95 times the odds of Dyslexia (95% confidence interval 0.942-0.968); p = 5 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 51% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q31.3 — in an intron of FHIP1A.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Dyslexia. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Dyslexia. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T 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 rs4696277

What is rs4696277?

rs4696277 is a single position in the genome, in or near the FHIP1A 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 rs4696277 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 rs4696277 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.
