Preterm birth (maternal effect) (maternal pre-pregnancy BMI interaction)

COL24A1 · rs11161721

What each result means

A/A Published research associates this genotype (two copies of the reported risk allele) with a higher likelihood of Preterm birth (maternal effect) (maternal pre-pregnancy BMI interaction) compared to the general population.
A/C Published research associates this genotype (one copy of the reported risk allele) with an intermediate association with Preterm birth (maternal effect) (maternal pre-pregnancy BMI interaction).
C/C Published research associates this genotype with typical/baseline likelihood of Preterm birth (maternal effect) (maternal pre-pregnancy BMI interaction) — no copies of the reported risk allele.

Questions about rs11161721

What is rs11161721?

rs11161721 is a single position in the genome, in or near the COL24A1 gene. Published research associates it with preterm birth (maternal effect) (maternal pre-pregnancy bmi interaction). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs11161721 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 rs11161721 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nat Commun 2017, PMID:28598419. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
