Number of decayed, missing and filled tooth surfaces or use of dentures

NEO1 · rs6495046

What the study found

Who was studied 14,976 European ancestry individuals with decayed, missing or filled tooth surface measurement, 11,816 Hispanic/Latino individuals with decayed, missing or filled tooth surface measurement, 77,714 European ancestry dentures cases, 383,317 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.017 lower (95% confidence interval 0.012-0.022); p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 36% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 15, band 15q24.1 — in an intron of NEO1.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Number of decayed, missing and filled tooth surfaces or use of dentures compared to the general population.
C/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Number of decayed, missing and filled tooth surfaces or use of dentures.
G/G Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Number of decayed, missing and filled tooth surfaces or use of dentures — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs6495046

What is rs6495046?

rs6495046 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NEO1 gene. Published research associates it with number of decayed, missing and filled tooth surfaces or use of dentures. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6495046 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 rs6495046 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2019, PMID:31235808. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
