LINC02269 · rs7697038

What the study found

Who was studied 68,732 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 8,643 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 6.26 z-score higher; p = 4 × 10−10.

Where it sits Chromosome 4, band 4q34.1 — in an intron of LINC02269.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Gestational duration. 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 Gestational duration. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Gestational duration. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs7697038

What is rs7697038?

rs7697038 is a single position in the genome, in or near the LINC02269 gene. Published research associates it with gestational duration. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7697038 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 rs7697038 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS genetics 2023, PMID:37871108. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
