ERBB4 · rs55769536

What the study found

Who was studied 248,847 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.051 lower (95% confidence interval 0.035-0.067); p = 3 × 10−11.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 26% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q34 — in an intron of ERBB4.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs55769536

What is rs55769536?

rs55769536 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ERBB4 gene. Published research associates it with occupational attainment. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs55769536 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 rs55769536 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Brain : a journal of neurology 2022, PMID:34613391. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
