near RN7SL680P · rs6016078

What the study found

Who was studied 10,115 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 3,948 European ancestry individuals, 9,674 Chinese ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is G; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 8 × 10−26.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 47% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q12 — between genes, 140.2 kb from RN7SL680P.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs6016078

What is rs6016078?

rs6016078 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RN7SL680P gene. Published research associates it with facial morphology (multitrait analysis). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6016078 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 rs6016078 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:36539420. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
