Primary tooth development (number of teeth)

KCNJ2 · rs8079702

Where this position leads

Condition: Tooth Eruption Timing

What the study found

Who was studied 5,752 European ancestry related individuals.

The effect The reported allele is G; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 1 × 10⁻¹⁴.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 39% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q24.3 — between genes, 14.6 kb from KCNJ2.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Primary tooth development (number of teeth). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Primary tooth development (number of teeth). That is a smaller link than two copies.

G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Primary tooth development (number of teeth). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs8079702

What is rs8079702?

rs8079702 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KCNJ2 gene. Published research associates it with primary tooth development (number of teeth). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs8079702 linked to?

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

What do people read about alongside rs8079702?

Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include heart and circulation (2 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.

Does having rs8079702 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 rs8079702 come from?

GWAS Catalog, PLoS Genet 2010, PMID:20195514. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
