What the study found

Who was studied 2,816 European ancestry cases, 13,056 European ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele carried 1.29 times the odds of Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (oligoarticular or rheumatoid factor-negative polyarticular) (95% confidence interval 1.20-1.37); p = 1 × 10−13.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 23% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 2, band 2q32.3 — in an intron of STAT4.

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (oligoarticular or rheumatoid factor-negative polyarticular) — no copies of the reported risk allele.
A/G Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (oligoarticular or rheumatoid factor-negative polyarticular).
G/G Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (oligoarticular or rheumatoid factor-negative polyarticular) compared to the general population.

Questions about rs10174238

What is rs10174238?

rs10174238 is a single position in the genome, in or near the STAT4 gene. Published research associates it with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (oligoarticular or rheumatoid factor-negative polyarticular). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs10174238 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs10174238 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 rs10174238 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Genet 2013, PMID:23603761. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
