What the study found

Who was studied 45,502 European ancestry cases, 96,601 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.05 higher (95% confidence interval 0.03-0.07); p = 2 × 10−9.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 47% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q13.2 — a missense change in ARHGEF28.

What ClinVar records

Classification Benign; criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (2 of 4 stars, 7 submitters), last evaluated 2021-06-09. ClinVar record 257376 NM_001177693.2(ARHGEF28):c.673T>C (p.Trp225Arg)

What this is ClinVar's aggregate record for this position (as of its 2026-10-12 release), not a result about you. A classification describes the variant against the condition named, as laboratories submitted it. Whether a person carries this variant, and what that would mean for them, is a question for a clinical test and a genetic counsellor.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs7714670

What is rs7714670?

rs7714670 is a single position in the genome, in or near the ARHGEF28 gene. Published research associates it with hearing difficulty. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7714670 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 rs7714670 come from?

GWAS Catalog, European journal of human genetics : EJHG 2023, PMID:36788145. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
