What the study found

Who was studied 30,859 Japanese ancestry cases, 14,666 Japanese ancestry controls, 26,792 European or unknown ancestry individuals, 77,714 European or unknown ancestry cases, 383,317 European or unknown ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 8.89 z score higher; p = 6 × 10−19.

Where it sits Chromosome 6, band 6p22.2 — between genes, 2.5 kb from SLC17A2.

What each result means

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

Questions about rs7748167

What is rs7748167?

rs7748167 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near SLC17A2 gene. Published research associates it with dental caries. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs7748167 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Dental Caries. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs7748167 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 rs7748167 come from?

GWAS Catalog, BMC oral health 2024, PMID:39192244. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
