Number of decayed, missing and filled tooth surfaces or use of dentures

KCNH8 · rs9831002

What the study found

Who was studied 14,976 European ancestry individuals with decayed, missing or filled tooth surface measurement, 11,816 Hispanic/Latino individuals with decayed, missing or filled tooth surface measurement, 77,714 European ancestry dentures cases, 383,317 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.016 lower (95% confidence interval 0.011-0.021); p = 9 × 10−10.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 49% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 3, band 3p24.3 — in an intron of SATB1-AS1.

What each result means

G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Number of decayed, missing and filled tooth surfaces or use of dentures. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
G/T One copy of the version the research linked to Number of decayed, missing and filled tooth surfaces or use of dentures. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Number of decayed, missing and filled tooth surfaces or use of dentures. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs9831002

What is rs9831002?

rs9831002 is a single position in the genome, in or near the KCNH8 gene. Published research associates it with number of decayed, missing and filled tooth surfaces or use of dentures. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs9831002 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 rs9831002 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2019, PMID:31235808. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
