Alpha angle

near TNFAIP8 · rs10478422

What the study found

Who was studied 44,214 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.04 higher; p = 1 × 10−9.

How common The T allele had a frequency of about 30% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5q23.1 — between genes, 12.1 kb from TNFAIP8.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to Alpha angle. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Alpha angle. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to Alpha angle. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs10478422

What is rs10478422?

rs10478422 is a single position in the genome, in or near the near TNFAIP8 gene. Published research associates it with alpha angle. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs10478422 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 rs10478422 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Arthritis & rheumatology (Hoboken, N.J.) 2023, PMID:36662418. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
