EDAR · rs749810

What the study found

Who was studied 11,079 Korean ancestry individuals; replicated in 5,940 Korean ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 1.81 lower; p = 3 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 8% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q13 — in an intron of EDAR.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs749810

What is rs749810?

rs749810 is a single position in the genome, in or near the EDAR gene. Published research associates it with facial wrinkles (under eye). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs749810 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 rs749810 come from?

GWAS Catalog, The Journal of investigative dermatology 2022, PMID:35421404. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
