Digit length ratio

GLIS1 · rs4927012

What the study found

Who was studied 12,586 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.384 lower (95% confidence interval 0.27-0.5); p = 2 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 88% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p32.3 — in an intron of GLIS1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs4927012

What is rs4927012?

rs4927012 is a single position in the genome, in or near the GLIS1 gene. Published research associates it with digit length ratio. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4927012 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 rs4927012 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Hum Mol Genet 2018, PMID:29659830. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
