Where this position leads

What the study found

Who was studied 530 European ancestry cases, 7,913 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele carried 1.90 times the odds of Cleft lip (95% confidence interval 1.551279912925209-2.327110645810346); p = 6 × 10⁻¹⁰.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 6% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3q28 — in an intron of TP63.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Cleft lip compared to the general population.

C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Cleft lip.

T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Cleft lip — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs79482068

What is rs79482068?

rs79482068 is a single position in the genome, in or near the TP63 gene. Published research associates it with cleft lip. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs79482068 linked to?

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

Does having rs79482068 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 rs79482068 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Human molecular genetics 2025, PMID:41075272. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
