Nose tip angle

Facial Features

The angle of the nose tip (relative to the face) is a heritable feature studied in facial morphology research.

GWAS work has identified variants near genes involved in cartilage and craniofacial development linked to nose tip angle.

This result reflects research-level variation in nose biology and is not a measurement of any individual's nose.

Age, growth, and surrounding facial features also influence how the tip of the nose appears.

Genes analyzed

Gene summaries include genomic locations and associated markers. A detected genotype does not by itself indicate a health condition.

Understanding the data

SNP: A specific genetic marker relevant to this trait.
Genotype: The DNA letters reported at a marker location.
Variant allele: The alternative DNA sequence at the SNP site.
Variant allele frequency: The reported percentage of the reference population carrying this variant.
Variant found: Whether the variant was detected in your DNA file.

1 of 1 genes have detected genotypes.

DCHS2

This gene encodes a large protein that contains many cadherin domains and likely functions in cell adhesion. Genome-wide association studies suggest that this gene may be important in Alzheimer's disease, compressive strength index, and appendicular lean mass. [provided by RefSeq, May 2017]

DNA Genics reports genotypes based on the 'positive' strand of the human genome reference sequence (build 37/HG19). Other companies may use the opposite strand, so genotypes may need conversion for comparison.
