Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 38,257 European ancestry male cases, 336,022 European ancestry male controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele carried 1.05 times the odds of Stuttering (95% confidence interval 1.03-1.07); p = 2 × 10⁻⁸.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 32% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5p15.2 — between genes, 127.1 kb from CTNND2.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Stuttering — no copies of the reported risk allele.

A/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Stuttering.

T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Stuttering compared to the general population.

Questions about rs62337988

What is rs62337988?

rs62337988 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near CTNND2 gene. Published research associates it with stuttering. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs62337988 linked to?

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

Does having rs62337988 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 rs62337988 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2025, PMID:40721530. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
