Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate

near ARHGEF19 · rs61769781

Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 1,084 European ancestry cases, 7,913 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele carried 1.44 times the odds of Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (95% confidence interval 1.268305-1.634938); p = 2 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 11% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1p36.13 — in a non-coding transcript of ANO7L1.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate compared to the general population.

A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate.

G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs61769781

What is rs61769781?

rs61769781 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near ARHGEF19 gene. Published research associates it with nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs61769781 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Cleft Lip with Cleft Palate. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs61769781 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 rs61769781 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2025, PMID:41075272. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
