Ephrin type-B receptor 6 levels

near EPHB6 · rs7789303

What the study found

Who was studied 10,708 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.351 higher (95% confidence interval 0.32-0.38); p = 5 × 10−138.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 73% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 7, band 7q34 — between genes, 0.1 kb from EPHB6.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Ephrin type-B receptor 6 levels. 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 Ephrin type-B receptor 6 levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Ephrin type-B receptor 6 levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs7789303

What is rs7789303?

rs7789303 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near EPHB6 gene. Published research associates it with ephrin type-b receptor 6 levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs7789303 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 rs7789303 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2021, PMID:34648354. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
