Cranial vault shape (segment 2)

ADAMTSL3 · rs4842918

What the study found

Who was studied 4,198 European ancestry individuals, 2,574 African American or Afro-Caribbean, Hispanic or Latin American, Sub-Saharan African ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 3 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q25.2 — in an intron of ADAMTSL3.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Cranial vault shape (segment 2). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Cranial vault shape (segment 2). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Cranial vault shape (segment 2). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs4842918

What is rs4842918?

rs4842918 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ADAMTSL3 gene. Published research associates it with cranial vault shape (segment 2). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4842918 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 rs4842918 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2023, PMID:37973980. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
