near LINC02379 · rs6852838

What the study found

Who was studied 4,680 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 3,566 European ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is G; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 4 × 10−11.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 20% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q28.1 — between genes, 49.8 kb from LINC02379.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Facial morphology (segment 24). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Facial morphology (segment 24). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Facial morphology (segment 24). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs6852838

What is rs6852838?

rs6852838 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near LINC02379 gene. Published research associates it with facial morphology (segment 24). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6852838 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 rs6852838 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33288918. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
