What the study found

Who was studied 447,401 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.0153 lower (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.02); p = 3 × 10−11.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 47% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q13.1 — between genes, 140.1 kb from LINC02429.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs62300963

What is rs62300963?

rs62300963 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC02429 gene. Published research associates it with fresh fruit consumption. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs62300963 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 rs62300963 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2020, PMID:32193382. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
