Facial morphology

INTU · rs56049331

What the study found

Who was studied 10,115 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.086 lower; p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 39% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q28.1 — between genes, 22.7 kb from Y_RNA.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs56049331

What is rs56049331?

rs56049331 is a single position in the genome, in or near the INTU gene. Published research associates it with facial morphology. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs56049331 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 rs56049331 come from?

GWAS Catalog, eLife 2019, PMID:31763980. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
