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

C16orf82 · rs62031988

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Facial morphology (factor 7, width of cartilaginous portion of nose) compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, PLoS One 2017, PMID:28441456)
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Facial morphology (factor 7, width of cartilaginous portion of nose). (GWAS Catalog, PLoS One 2017, PMID:28441456)
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Facial morphology (factor 7, width of cartilaginous portion of nose) — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, PLoS One 2017, PMID:28441456)

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.
