RAB11FIP2 · rs4752116

What the study found

Who was studied 7,148 Japanese ancestry female cases, 4,034 Japanese ancestry female controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.23 times the odds of Freckles (95% confidence interval 1.15-1.32); p = 3 × 10−9.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 79% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10q26.11 — between genes, 70 kb from LINC02674.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4752116

What is rs4752116?

rs4752116 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RAB11FIP2 gene. Published research associates it with freckles. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4752116 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 rs4752116 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Sci Rep 2018, PMID:29895819. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
