What the study found

Who was studied 34 Iberian ancestry cases, 4,945 Iberian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 2.16 higher (95% confidence interval 1.47-2.85); p = 9 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 2% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 18, band 18q21.32 — between genes, 68.2 kb from MRPS5P4.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Red vs non-red hair color. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Red vs non-red hair color. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Red vs non-red hair color. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs62095805

What is rs62095805?

rs62095805 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near MRPS5P4 gene. Published research associates it with red vs non-red hair color. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs62095805 linked to?

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

Does having rs62095805 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 rs62095805 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genes 2023, PMID:36672889. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
