What the study found

Who was studied 34 Iberian ancestry cases, 4,945 Iberian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 2.33 higher (95% confidence interval 1.58-3.07); p = 1 × 10−9.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q32.3 — in an intron of LPGAT1.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Red vs non-red hair color. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/T One copy of the version the research linked to Red vs non-red hair color. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Red vs non-red hair color. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs74944665

What is rs74944665?

rs74944665 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LPGAT1 gene. Published research associates it with red vs non-red hair color. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs74944665 linked to?

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

Does having rs74944665 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 rs74944665 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Genes 2023, PMID:36672889. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
