near RNU6-62P · rs9524742

What the study found

Who was studied 4,680 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 3,566 European ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is T; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 3 × 10−15.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 43% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 13, band 13q32.1 — between genes, 21.4 kb from RNU6-62P.

What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Facial morphology (segment 1) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Facial morphology (segment 1).
T/T Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Facial morphology (segment 1) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs9524742

What is rs9524742?

rs9524742 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near RNU6-62P gene. Published research associates it with facial morphology (segment 1). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9524742 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 rs9524742 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature genetics 2021, PMID:33288918. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
