Stands on its own.
Nothing else here links to this position yet — but the page above is the point: what the
research found, what each genotype means, and where it came from, in language you can
read. Links to conditions, drugs and the senses appear automatically if we write them.
What the study found
Who was studied 3,008 Tibetan (founder/genetic isolate) individuals and 7,287 East Asian individuals.
The effect
The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size
; p = 5 × 10−8.
How common The A allele had a frequency of about 20% in the people studied.
Where it sits Chromosome 1, band 1q31.3 — between genes, 29.5 kb from NEK7.
What each result means
A/ATwo copies of the version the research linked to High altitude adaptation. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/TOne copy of the version the research linked to High altitude adaptation. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/TNo copy of the version the research linked to High altitude adaptation. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America · 2017 · PMID 28373541
Questions about rs78720557
What is rs78720557?
rs78720557 is a single position in the genome, in or near the NEK7 gene. Published research associates it with high altitude adaptation. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
Does having rs78720557 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 rs78720557 come from?
GWAS Catalog, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2017, PMID:28373541. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
