SMOC2 · rs73045836

What the study found

Who was studied 345 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.361 lower (95% confidence interval 0.26-0.47); p = 8 × 10−11.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q27 — in an intron of SMOC2.

What each result means

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Cognitive function (immediate memory) (longitudinal). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Cognitive function (immediate memory) (longitudinal). That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Cognitive function (immediate memory) (longitudinal). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs73045836

What is rs73045836?

rs73045836 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SMOC2 gene. Published research associates it with cognitive function (immediate memory) (longitudinal). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs73045836 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 rs73045836 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Frontiers in aging neuroscience 2022, PMID:35386118. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
