What the study found

Who was studied 4,502 Danish ancestry cases, 51,049 Danish ancestry controls; replicated in 3,133 European ancestry cases, 32,917 European ancestry controls.

The effect The reported allele is G; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 5 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q22.31 — between genes, 6.7 kb from HERC1.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs62023078

What is rs62023078?

rs62023078 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near HERC1 gene. Published research associates it with febrile seizures. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs62023078 linked to?

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

Does having rs62023078 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 rs62023078 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Brain : a journal of neurology 2022, PMID:35022648. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
