RAB32 · rs77310623

What the study found

Who was studied 48,433 East Asian ancestry individuals; replicated in 4,992 East Asian ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.097 higher (95% confidence interval 0.072-0.122); p = 1 × 10−13.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 7% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6q24.3 — in an intron of RAB32.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs77310623

What is rs77310623?

rs77310623 is a single position in the genome, in or near the RAB32 gene. Published research associates it with skin luminance. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs77310623 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 rs77310623 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2024, PMID:38849341. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
