PAX3 · rs7559271

What the study found

Who was studied 2,185 European ancestry adolescent individuals; replicated in 1,622 European ancestry adolescent individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.388 mm higher (95% confidence interval 0.30-0.48); p = 4 × 10−16.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q36.1 — in an intron of PAX3.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs7559271

What is rs7559271?

rs7559271 is a single position in the genome, in or near the PAX3 gene. Published research associates it with facial morphology. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7559271 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 rs7559271 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Am J Hum Genet 2012, PMID:22341974. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
