What the study found

Who was studied 567 African American or Afro-Caribbean cases, 121,083 African American or Afro-Caribbean controls, 3,402 European ancestry cases, 446,631 European ancestry controls, 236 Hispanic or Latin American cases, 59,514 Hispanic or Latin American controls.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 3.25 lower (95% confidence interval 3.22-3.27); p = 1 × 10−13.

How common The G allele had a frequency of about 100% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 19, band 19q13.31 — in an intron of CEACAM20.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Regional enteritis (PheCode 555.1). This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Regional enteritis (PheCode 555.1). That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Regional enteritis (PheCode 555.1). That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs111978729

What is rs111978729?

rs111978729 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CEACAM20 gene. Published research associates it with regional enteritis (phecode 555.1). A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs111978729 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Crohn's Disease. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs111978729 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 rs111978729 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Science (New York, N.Y.) 2024, PMID:39024449. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
