What each result means

C/C Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Crohn's disease compared to the general population. (GWAS Catalog, Nature 2012, PMID:23128233)
C/T Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Crohn's disease. (GWAS Catalog, Nature 2012, PMID:23128233)
T/T Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Crohn's disease — no copies of the reported risk allele. (GWAS Catalog, Nature 2012, PMID:23128233)

Questions about rs10065637

What is rs10065637?

rs10065637 is a single position in the genome, in or near the IL6ST gene. Published research associates it with crohn's disease. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs10065637 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 rs10065637 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2012, PMID:23128233. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
