Facial morphology (factor 7, width of cartilaginous portion of nose)

C16orf82 · rs62031988

What the study found

Who was studied 2,187 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.7 higher (95% confidence interval 0.46-0.94); p = 2 × 10−8.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 16, band 16p12.1 — between genes, 37.9 kb from LOC105371153.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Facial morphology (factor 7, width of cartilaginous portion of nose). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Facial morphology (factor 7, width of cartilaginous portion of nose). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Facial morphology (factor 7, width of cartilaginous portion of nose). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs62031988

What is rs62031988?

rs62031988 is a single position in the genome, in or near the C16orf82 gene. Published research associates it with facial morphology (factor 7, width of cartilaginous portion of nose). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62031988 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 rs62031988 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS One 2017, PMID:28441456. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
