Facial morphology (multitrait analysis)

CASC17 · rs9674957

What the study found

Who was studied 10,115 European ancestry individuals; replicated in 3,948 European ancestry individuals, 9,674 Chinese ancestry individuals.

The effect The reported allele is A; the catalogue records no effect size ; p = 9 × 10−54.

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

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17q24.3 — in an intron of CASC17.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Facial morphology (multitrait analysis). 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 Facial morphology (multitrait analysis). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Facial morphology (multitrait analysis). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs9674957

What is rs9674957?

rs9674957 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CASC17 gene. Published research associates it with facial morphology (multitrait analysis). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9674957 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 rs9674957 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:36539420. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
